I was diagnosed two weeks ago with TMJ.I believe I've had it for years, but only now got diagnosed.I'm taking Flexeril @ night to help with jaw spasims.Also am having physical therepy once a week.Prior to this, I was on a diet to lose ALOT of weight, now I can not stay on that diet,so now gaining weight due to mashed potatoes,Jello,pudding,eggs,baby food,soup,etc. I experiment every once in awhile with "normal" food-but quickly realize-nope still can't. I've read & heard it takes months before one can establish "normal" eating habits. Anyone out there have any ideas for some good soft menus? Am a parent, so I need to keep up with "normal" foods for family. Thanks
