I eat smooth peach yogurt, chocolate pudding with whipped cream, milkshakes, Wendy's frosty's, mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, won-ton soup broth and french onion soup broth. I just bought some jello cups to try.

Im hungry most of the time. I watch others eat and wish I could have just one bite. TV is the worst, too many food commercials. I had the peg tube for 1.5 yrs which got me thru 2 rounds of oral cancer. I just got rid of it in Jan. Since I lost my teeth from the radiation treatments, its not easy for me to eat. I had planned on having dentures by the end of this year. Now that got delayed and Im hoping by next spring. Then I should be able to eat much more.

Since you arent that far from me the grocery stores might carry the same brand of yogurt. I eat LaYogurt smooth and creamy peach yogurt. Its the only kind out there that doesnt have a single chunck of fruit in it. It has a yellow wrapper. That would be a good starter food for him. Mashed potatoes with gravy are easy too, just so they are smooth without chunks. Im a stubborn patient and refuse to have the peg tube one minute longer than I need it.

Is he able to drink water? Has the hospital given him a swallow test? He doesnt want to eat til the doc or a therapist says its ok or he could choke.
