I am two weeks post surgery with a pech flap put in my throat. Each day it gets a little better yet it's still quite sore. How long do we wait before we try and eat real food. I feel like trying some soup or other soft food. Also Is it ok to blend real food and insert it into the peg tube. I am currentely injecting 8 cans of insure per day with about 1000cc of water per day. My weight is holding steady, no gain or loss. Should I increase my consumption to 9 or 10 cans? Won't start rad for another two to three weeks.
