Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Thanks so much for this post. It brought a smile to my face! I can open my mouth a tiny bit, but it's been hard to shovel stuff in there (most of it ends up on my shirt). before my surgery I did a practice to see if I could eat mac & cheese without chewing. I am happy to know that hamburger helper can be done too! YUM! Thank you again!! Britt > > > Britt--you are way ahead of me, actually.
