With the lack of teeth to process carrot sticks and no tongue to eat salad (isn't it amazing how lettuce can WELD itself to the inside of your mouth?) my diet consists of soft foods like puddings, and smoothies, eggs, processed meat (steak in a tube and very mushy pasta. Al dente be damned!~~ How have others not gained weight??
I love CancerCare Manitoba. Each time they weigh me they give me a high five. Where were these people all my life? They say it is okay to have a bit extra in case of a recurrance, but that is getting to be a larger "bit extra".
Seriously.........no one else GAINED WEIGHT??
