I can understand the glacier mode of speed... I am six weeks out and have sipped chicken broth and downed frosted Rice Krispies ( very soggy). I had roasted corn on the cob yesterday and today. Tasted like corn lol. Just drinking water and tube feeding boosts and smoothies. It hurts to swallow but I am motivated to try different things. I have an aggressive attitude about things. Everything has a twang to the taste but you have to experiment. I wish you and your husband well!!
