My huge stores of an extra 150 lbs of fat have a lot of calories to draw on. wink And I do make sure to eat high protein. The flax protein I mentioned in my shakes, and there's some in the soups too.

Miss B, I'm shocked as heck by what you're eating. Meat, rice, flippin' tacos?! Wow. You had more rad treatments to the tongue than me, a week more recently than me, and you're accomplishing this, I'm very impressed. You can't be as scared of eating as I am. And I do think you're right about that being a factor. I'm pretty sure I psych myself out when it comes to pills, getting anxious and thinking about gagging and then I think myself into a problem.
