Just got the surgery!

I just got the surgery. I'm feeling ok. Just some pain in my tummy and tenderness in the incision sites. Is it normal to miss chewing? I'm on day 6 and omg I need to chew. I can't take any more jello or ice pops or water or broth. I feel like I'm going nuts. Lol. Is this normal? And sorry if this is TMI but when should the first #2 happen? Lol.

I havent had mine yet but my friend did and she really missed chewing too, said it was really hard. Thankfully its only for a short period of time! I think it is normal to miss chewing, have you thought about maybe some sugarless gum? My dr will let me have some I just cant swallow it obviously :)
