Nelie-
Thank you for starting this topic. This will also help with my Mom. I can share your experiences with her to help with her expectations on this issue.

I hope that by having a "written" log of your efforts it may help you with the recovery. Just by being so conscious of your attempts it may keep you pushing along even harder than with out the postings. It almost makes you accountable is some sort of a way. I hope this helps aide you in recovering and resuming eating by mouth. Stay Strong!
