Becky on soft pasta

[Guest guest]

Yeah Becky, I didn't really understand how I could eat pasta without

chewing which is why I specifically asked whether I could chew or not.

I guess what he meant was that I can swallow pasta pieces now because

there is no risk that it will get stuck in my teeth since I can brush

them a little better now. I don't know! These doctors are confusing.

Not that swallowing pasta whole really makes for a tasty meal. I can

tell you this, despite having the go-ahead for soft foods I was still

too scared tonight to try something soft. I ended up blenderizing

philadelphia cream cheese with italian cooked ham. Not the yummiest

thing I've ever had and it definitely got rid of my craving. Tomorrow i

think I shall try mushed up cookies with milk. The problem is that I

still can't open my mouth very wide and I'm the kind of person that

when I eat I put the whole spoon in my mouth so right now, with only

being able to fit part of the spoon, the most i can manage is liquids.

Aghhhh, who ever thought eating could be so stressful? I tell you, this

is one heck of a weight loss program that I never thought I would have

to go through.
