Ray,

Welcome to OCF. I finished 11-4-08, and I'm getting most of my nutrition through Carnation VHC and soups. I can eat, but, it is very little--almost like baby portions. I have okay taste but the texture is off a little. When I go out, I try to order appetizers or from the children's menu and I suspect it will be that way for a while. I don't notice changes from day-to-day or even from week-to-week; although, I do notice a big difference from month-to-month. Baby-steps is all I can say...

I use to live in Houston and San Marcos, Texas....I almost feel like I'm talking to myself...I don't run into too many Rays.
