I am doing the same, except I am 4 weeks out. Have not tried popcorn, kinda nervious about that. I told my doctor how I have been eating, he just seemed to be concerned with any bread products because they can expand. He said remember you can drink as much as you want. The dietian said if you chew reaaly good, then that is soft food!!! Help---I am an eating machine. Yes, I seem to eat slightly less but still.
