Hi Jeannie77!

I also had all my teeth pulled after radiation, and did HBOT twice. Due to unforeseen medical issues, I have not seen about dentures. Implants were not really recommended by my otolaryngologist after having radiation 5x.

I basically follow a soft food or mechanical food diet as they call it. I try many things through trial and error. It depends on the food, and if it’s cooked too much for me. When I go out it’s Japanese for sushi and sashimi or Italian for the pasta as an example, and others. There’s usually something, but not everything, although I probably tried it!

I used to blend my food, but don’t feel like it lately or use a food processor.

Mashed potatoes or other mashed food like turnip are favorites. This morning I made two fried eggs and toast. For dinner i’ll probably have pasta with sauce. It really depends how I feel. I made plenty of green salads in the food processor and were tasty too! Speaking of salads, macaroni and potato salad are doable. Cole slaw I may zip it once in the mini food processor, and even eat certain parts of a chicken, dark fatty meat, from Costco.

I have a few digital books with recipes on easy to eat foods that I haven’t looked at in a while. They may have been free or minimal money, but if I can, I’ll send you a copy.

Christine, our Member Director, or other title, has a listing of soft food to eat, and from what I hear, a delicious and nutritious protein drink if you look it up on search, if Christine doesn’t pass by, but usually does.

I hope this helps! Foods are one of my favorites to talk about!

I hope this helps!
