5 days out and the urge to chew

I hadn't RNY on the 11th and it went pretty well. Now I find that I have an overwhelming urge to chew something. The liquids only is driving me crazy. I know that I have to do it to let my system acclimate to all of the changes, but I could really use some suggestions

    The immediate drawback to having something to chew is remaining cognizant to not swallow. I've heard people mention celery as it's very fibrous and takes a while to chew to the point of "soft." Once that is reached you spit it out and start with a new bite. Again, this requires more work to remind yourself not to swallow.
