Mike,

Look on the bright side, at least you're ahead of me! As far as I'm concerned, I can't chew at all as well. The good news is last night I was finally able to fall asleep without biting my bracket. I think I was successful in weening myself off biting the bottom bracket. Right now all I want to do is eat solid food though and it's only my third day. I know I will lose weight but I don't want to because I've worked myself up to this weight the past year. The only good news is most of the weight lost so far seemed to come from fat in my stomach.

Mitchell
