Yogurt was one of my staples when I was just learning to eat again. I think the brand is LaYogurt, they make a smooth banana flavored kind which was the easiest for me to eat. Another item you may want to try is canned peaches, sliced up very small they slide right down fairly easily.
I hope you are able to eat these things. Carnation VHC, Ensure or Boost should be a staple for you. Its awfully rough trying to get thru this without a peg tube. Please watch your weight and if you cant get 3000 calories a day and at least 64 oz. of fluids then you may change your mind about the peg. Without proper nutrition, your body cant heal. It takes alot of extra calories to mend your body.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have. There are so many wonderful people on here who are more than happy to help you with insight, compassion and advice.
Best of luck.
