Due to a bandage in my mouth after my partial glossectomy I was no allowed to eat anything other than liquids for two and a half weeks after surgery. I added mashed potatoes to creamed soups to both thin down the potatoes and bulk up the soups. Whey protein shakes with oat bran and lots of fruit and a wee bit of spinach were helpful too at filling me up.

After the bandage was removed it was still a couple of weeks before I could maneuver solid food effectively. I'm ten weeks post surgery now and can eat almost anything I want although I still get food stuck on the roof of my mouth or on back molars and need a finger to dislocate.

I know its a pain in the tail, absolutely no fun at all, but it does get better. I promise!
