  • I will tell you now to stop the diet sodas since the carbonation will make your stomach hurt, and caffeine will dehydrate you. Strive for 2 liters of water daily. Herbal teas are fine such as peppermint or chamomile. Cut your food into baby size pieces and chew until it feels smooth. I have the smaller plates which is…
