Yes, same here. I went through the re-learning process with a speech therapist and positioning food, etc. I seem to do fine for the most part, but every now and then when I seem to be not paying enough attention, going too fast, etc., I choke or something gets stuck. Things with starch are tougher to handle, along with most meats (Unless it's full of fat!). I'm now gaining weight and my surgeon said it's due to hammering the gravies and sauces to help get the food down. At least I can eat!! As Bill said, I was also told the radiation plays a major role in the tissue changes. Continue to "exercise" and practice. The problem never completely goes away but you can continue to make it better.
