The only thing I can tell you about helping to recover from your most recent surgery is it takes time and some good strong pain meds. If your doc gave you any prescription pain meds, take them and get some relief. I remember how sore I was when I first got my feeding tube. I also had a port done at the same time. It was supposed to be outpatient but the hospital kept me as I was in so much pain.

Now is the time you should be eating as much as possible, especially all your favorite foods. You do not want to go into rads having cravings. Heres a list of foods that are easier to eat. Most are fairly mild without very many spices. I suggest at least giving some of these things a try. I originally started the list for patients who were just finishing rads and trying to relearn how to eat normally. It also works for those with very sensitive mouths. Im sure some of the foods you should be able to eat, probably not everything on the list.

Hang in there!!!
