But I guess it has only been a week. I have heard alot of people say 3 was the turning point. I eat about 1700 calories a day which is enough to maintain my weight. I didn't lose that much during radiation plus I had "baby weight" to begin with so I'm actually at a healthy weight now. Was it hard to go back to eating solids? I've been on liquids only for the past 6 weeks becuase of my tongue ulcer and then the sore throat. I'm hoping once my mouth feels better I can jump back into eating real food, even if it tastes like nothing. Melissa
