Hi all,

I had my ND on the 18th of July and the doctor had to cut the nerve that controls my swallowing so I am having to learn to swallow all over again. I have exaercises to do which I probably dont do as often as I should. They are however pleased with the progress I have made so far. I am supposed to only eat stuff with a pudding consistency but really the only thing I can think of is mashed potatos and I tried that and it was kinda hard to get down. I may have had them too thick or too dry, I dont know. This is all so new to me. I am used to being able to eat whatever I want but that has all changed now. I want to be able to eat band swallow normally because I dont want to be on the tube the resyt of my life.

What I am asking is if any of you may have any ideas of other things I may be able to eat. I am eating mainly ice cream(which I am not supposed to have..LOL) and pudding. I am scared to death that all of this sugar is going to rot my teeth and then open up a whole new can of worms.

Any help would be greatly apprciated.

Thanks in advance,
Billy
