One of the first things I was able to eat was canned sliced peaches. The syrup helps with getting them to slide right down. But t could be just a little too acidic for someone who just finished rads.

Here is a list of things that are easier to eat. Right now its mainly about texture and consistency. The items on this list are mostly bland, softer and have a smoother texture so they should be easier.

Easy to Eat Foods list.

Take it slow and take small bites. Focus on your eating and avoid distractions and talking. What taste bad today might be the best tasting thing you have every eaten tomorrow and next week it could be awful again. Your sense of taste will come and go over the next few weeks. In time it will begin to return to normal again. Take it day by day.

Best wishes!
