Richard is two weeks out - post treatment. And is doing surprisingly well, although....

The things that I thought he would have an easy time eating, papaya, smoothies, applesauce, mac and cheese,ice cream, bananas, do not go down well. He says they burn.
And the food I thought would be a "fail", he has no problem with, boiled eggs, swiss cheese, Spaghetti with meat sauce, peanut butter and jelly on whole wheat bread, he has enjoyed!
Go figure.. I guess everyone is uniquely different, especially when it comes to food.

Glad to hear Richard is eating well, that is so critical. If his taste buds are working then he is off to a great recovery. Read guidelines but follow what works best, every person has their own path back to health. don

At two weeks post treatment sounds like he is doing great! I still can't eat most fruits, acid burns, no taste. Bread I couldn't eat for a year or so. It was a texture thing, the same with potatoes. To save time, money I went to a buffet a few times, and tried most everything, if I liked it, I then made/ate in the future. I think tasting most everything can also help it getting some taste buds back due to memory, but there is other involvement too.

I am sort of jealous of Richard. If I could eat one off his list I would be thrilled and I'm 6 weeks ahead of him. Tell him to keep up the good work and how proud you are of him. How proud I am of him!

I think I was in the hospital getting a nasal tube my 2nd week post Tx.
