I don't have any problems at all getting liquids in, in fact I drink 100+ oz. a day; I actually stop mid-evening so I don't have to get up and pee during the night.

My tastes changed immediately... 2 weeks after surgery I devoured green Beans, which I previously hated. "When all is said and done, usually more has been said than done. "

So far (6 weeks out) I've done Mexican, Chinese, and Italian out, and I've had: Mexican: chicken chimichanga, black Beans, stuffed chile relleno, fajitas, huevos rancheros Chinese: tofu, garlic green beans, chicken curry, mongolian chicken, dragon chicken rice bowl (no rice!)
