You know when you go to the kitchen and you are about to make something, but then realize you can't eat it because you are on a no chew diet? Well, this afternoon I was about to toast a bagel when I realized my mistake. Then I said f*#k it and toasted it anyway, smothered it in vegan butter and ate it one tiny morsel at a time. It took about a half hour to swallow half a bagel w/out chewing.
I apologize for the off color language, but sometimes, that's how I feel and thank goodness for carbs.
I had a similar episode over tater tots and chicken nuggets. Made them for Mara and said screw it, I'm going to eat these. I diced them to bits and drenched them in ketchup and swallowed them whole. As gross as it was, I felt strangely empowered :)
ReplyDeleteHehe this reminds me of when I was helping my mom cook dinner a couple of weeks after surgery and I went to lick the spoon and hit myself in the teeth...then I realized I was still banded shut. What a let down! :)
ReplyDeleteLadies, I LOVE your stories! I am laughing trying to picture them both. There definitely is a boiling point in this 'no chew' diet. I'm just happy I only have one more week! But in that time I will turn my nose up at soup:)
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda- just wanted to pop in and say you are looking great! I hope your recovery has been going well! Haha, I love your half hour bagel story. I feel you...that soft no chew diet is killer! ;)
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks Nikki! I hope you are doing great. Congrats on getting de-braced!!!
