I found that spaghetti of all things (with milk) just had the right combination for me for many weeks. I never knew you could blow out whole spaghetti through the nose, though! eek Water was just too thin for me to drink and it took almost 2 years before I could take multiple, successive gulps. I really stocked up on the Ragu and noodles and rode that horse as long as it worked.

You'll find what works best and when that changes move on to something else. It gets better by the week but, unfortunately, not by the day. Take a moment from time to time to look back at progress over time and you'll be amazed.
