i have a cookbook that i bought from amazon for after my surgery it is called i cannot chew or something like that ... if you think it would be of help to you, please send me a private message and send me your address there and i will be happy to send it to you at no charge.

to send a private message you click where it says my name AZCALLIN on the left of the screen and it will show and option there to send a private message.

i wish you the best.

here are some soft foods i enjoyed during recoop phase, maybe some of them would help:

oatmeal, ice cream, pudding, carnation VHC, yogurt, jello (some of them stung my mouth like strawberry and lime but others like cherry were soothing), cream of wheat, malt o meal, cream soups, mashed potatoes and gravy, milkshakes with protein powder added, smoothies, mashed yams and sweet potatoes, scrambled eggs ...

baby food i tried but then i looked and calories are too low for the work lol

i found liquids to be really hard to swallow at first, of course my surgery was different than yours and was the cause of my difficulties but i would choke easy so having something with a little consistency but not needing chewed was my best option for a bit there...

i wish you the best work those throat muscles ... no use you lose they say because the throat will quit working if you do not keep its memory of its purpose going ... so even if not swallowing food do the swallowing action for it to practice.

also if the throat continues having problems swallowing and being sore, watch for thrush ... it can cause probs too and is very common with / after treatment.
