Had mine done in Hudson Valley with Dr. Shawn Garber. His main office is in Long Island and Manhattan. Where are you getting it done? And by who?

I did a lot of omelettes, meatballs, meatloaf, chicken salad, egg salad, I don't like tuna but you could do tuna salad. I did lots of cheeses and deli meats, chili, chicken from the crock pot and chew chew chew. The PA told me that I could get a little experimental as long as I chew food into a paste
