Thank you for your reply.The only other problem I have found is I get so tired of chewing that I will just give up and go have a protein shake.I have actually grown to like them.At first I was having trouble getting enough protein in but I found Protein shots at our local Walmart that are wonderful.It has 27 grams of protein and is only 110 cal for 2.5 ounces.So if anyone is looking for another source of protein its a good one.I have also learned the hard way that I have to eat SLOWLY.I will be having my first fill on March 11, and Im looking forward to that.Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.Thanks again.
