Is it just me? Spit Not Swallow

[purpleprincess29]

I'm on fairly solid foods now and it's usually hit and miss without rhyme or reason as to whether it stays down, but generally I'm doing well.

However, I'm conscious that I need to chew food thoroughly before swallowing because there's a danger of it getting stuck, but I find that when I put food in my mouth, initially it tastes okay (not like it used to as I think my tastes have changed) but pleasant enough.

The more I chew it I find the taste changes, it becomes unpleasant and I just want it out my mouth and therefore end up spitting it out in a chewed up ball and giving up on the meal. This has happened quite a lot lately where I'm chewing food and feeling almost bored by it being in my mouth.

I'm really struggling to think of meal ideas now.

Looks like I've got a few Hail Mary's to say in the morning then for my sins lol.

I think it must be psychological and my changing thoughts about food.

Thanks for the responses though, been entertaining

I remember things having a sort of metallic taste after surgery, but it didn't last long!
