I have some trouble swallowing but not horrible. It's just very apparent that my esophogus is much smaller than it was before and I choke easier. Your comment about your mouth always being sore really rings a bell with me, mine is ALWAYS sore and irritated, along with my lips. I've gotten used to it but sure wish there was a way to resolve it.
Diane gives good advice for eating scrambled eggs, although I do use regular eggs, I also add milk to them along with cheese and I cook them VERY soft. I mash them up with my fork and they suit my mouth and throat just fine. Toss in some onion salt and they are delicious. I've found I can eat alot of things if they are the correct consistancy.
Wish I could help you more, you certainly have had a rough road with the eating and I love your spirit.
