With him only being 5 weeks out I'm giving him kudo's for eating at all. The food will stick for awhile due to the dryness and the damage to the throat. I still have times that food will stick although I eat pretty well. Give him 6 months and he will be SO HAPPY with how much better it will be. Patience is the key or he will get discouraged.
