Hi Peter,
and welcome to the forum. Soft foods are about it for now. I did a lot of experimenting to determine what I could and couldn't eat - the dogs all got fat. Some here blend regular meals and eat them that way. At this stage it is important to stay hydrated and keep your nutrition up. It is good that you continue to try to take foods orally. Watch out for aspiration though - you can get pnuemonia from that.

I drank a lot of Carnation Instant Breakfast (I hated Boost and Ensure) and Hagan Daz milkshakes then graduated to softfoods like mashed potatoes and gravy, soups, stews, pastas, etc. If you have a nutritionist at your hospital they should be able to give you tips on things to try also.

Here's a link to OCF recommendations http://www.oralcancerfoundation.org/facts/nutrition_during.htm

I am sure you will get lots more tips from others here.

It just takes a whole lot of patience - the healing process is very slow.
