Sammie,

I know everyone is different. My husband is 5 weeks post treatment. Dan took great pleasure in getting a french dip sandwich down recently. He loaded it up with au just sauce and the beef was very, very thin. He could only get tiny bites down. It was a lot of effort to get it down, and it was slow, but he enjoyed the feel of food in his mouth.

Also, he just recently had his first McDonald's cheeseburger. And, scrambled and poached eggs work too for him.

His problem is that he fills up sooooo fast that he just can't get in the amount of calories his dietitian wants for him. Oh, and he likes slightly melted vanilla shakes...which we are adding protein powder to.

Tis a shame we don't have a dog. There have been many failed attempts at food here in our kitchen....many, many.
