My radiation ended mid March and I had additional surgery with a neck dissection in mid April. For the past three weeks or so I have echewed the tube feeding and have been determined to eat as normal as possible. However, "normal" to me would mean how I use to eat before all this stuff happened. I sometimes have issues with bread and potatoes. Saliva has it's good days and bad days.
Quite a few of my BC (before cancer) calories probably came from soda as it use to be my drink of choice throughout the day. Now, I can barely handle a sip.
Otherwise, anything I can attempt to eat, I most definitely try, but it's only been four months after treatment ended and I had to really PUSH myself. Everybody is different.
