Hi im 19 and had a total glossectomy a little over 2 weeks ago. I had trach which came out a few days after the surgery and now im home. At the moment I have to use feeding tube i can have sips of water but i usually cough a bit. How long does it take before i can move on to soft foods? Im already fed up using the feeding tube
