My teeth are an issue now, and until recently, I ate everything. I don't think I missed any type of food, although my bites were smaller, pieces cut smaller, sandwiches made wound up being salads, I still managed and gained 30 pounds since the end of my last treatment almost a year ago. I do tend to eat certain foods taste wise, and because the dry mouth, swallowing issues, so a lot of soft foods, with sauces, casseroles, pastas, tender fatty cut meats, braises, fried. Not much fruit since I don't taste that much, but better than it was with none.

Good luck.
