have you discussed this with your doctors? Possibly a physical therapist with experience in this area could help.
As for food - from what I understand, a thick liquid is the easiest to manage without choking. Many of the soups developed in the middle ages - and other recipes for soft foods - were designed for people with no teeth. These recipes live on in French cuisine. If you google cream soup (followed by your favorite vegetable) you will get some ideas. Cream soups are NOT hard to make!
Our blender is an ancient Oster from the 1960's. I believe that others have found the Vitamix to reliable.
