It looks like you're getting lots of good advice! So, welcome.
Don't worry, it really doesn't take long before you don't even notice them anymore. They just become a part of your routine.
And let me tell you, once you've been on the soft foods for a while, and you can start eating harder foods - everything tastes SO good. Because you haven't gotten to taste it in a week or so.
