Yay, Bill! Glad to know you DO have a support group there. I am still having severe swallowing problems and I wish I could eat what you describe yourself eating. Even after the esophagus surgery I went through, I seem to be stuck with small mouthfuls of liquid only. Everything else I choke on eventually. I really hope I can learn to compensate somehow with more practice and get a few other things down and get off the PEG (after more than a year of nothing but soups to eat I am SO sick of soup!), so I have sympathy for struggling with eating but to me it seems like you have the ability to do what i wish I could do....Hang in there, hopefull you'll get more tatse back as time goes on.
