That's a great step, but don't stop now! I remember eating a lot of soup when I got back to eating. Soups and other wet foods like slightly overcooked pasta, although my greatest achievement was a slice of pizza and a couple of days later, a bowl of clam chowder. Most of us seem to have the experience of the first couple of bites tasting good but after that, nothing.
Thrush may be an ongoing problem for you, I went through two bouts of it over the summer, so do keep an eye on those white spots because you never know.
Keep at it, you too Michele, because it will happen. Slowly, but it will happen!
