hey Erik,

good to hear that you can eat everything again.

i couldn't eat for quite awhile... when it started back, my experience was like yours. for me the musles needed to be strengthened and got that way by continued use. i also needed to learn how to eat food effectively... like sometimes i will chew a normal sized bit of beef. however to save time and energy, i also will use my knife and fork to cut it down to tiny pieces that i don't have to chew so much.

you're on the right track, stay with it!!

cu,
