Amber,
I am sure you will adjust. I bet if you continue to focus on chewing the muscles in your jaw with strengthen. Remember that just like any other exercise give your jaw a rest when it gets sore. If it is your teeth that give you pain see your dentist and be open with the dentist.
The chewing is very important because your stomach will not be able to break down the food for you and the opening leaving the pouch is smaller. You must chew your food.
Keep practicing and it will soon be natural.
You can do it...
