Be patient Rob... you literally had your guts violated, even though it was in the most unintruding way, there's a reason for your soft diet. When my oldest had her surgery at age nine, she was put on a very soft food diet for three weeks. Everything had to be non-chewable. But we could put stuff she liked in a blender and all was turned into baby food consistency.
Hang in there. You're doing fine!
