Well as everybody is saying everybody heals and handles it all differently. Ron still has the NG in now after his 2nd bout and surgery and another graft off his left thigh now. His surgery was June 30th. He failed his first swallow study 3 weeks ago, which when he had his first surgery he passed that one, this one is harder because of the radiation he had with the first bout. He is harder to heal because of it.He also had issues eating because of the radiation. It causes burns and sores in and on the mouth some folks I guess worse than others, but the feeding tube helps keep up with the nutrition IF they will eat. That is the big IF. Some folks understand they need to eat to heal and some folks you just can't get them to realize it is for the best and are "hard headed" you can say. Ron was able to eat Stouffer's Mac and Cheese and any pasta soaked in a creamy sauce because the red sauces burnt his mouth and he had an issue with salt/acid food. He loved jello(this was all before his 2nd bout) Alot of creamy foods just watch out for spicy and salty. And if he will do it baby food is great. He will just have to try out things to see if he can get them down. Trial and error.
Good luck!
