I have been trying to regain my swallow for two years. It is coming slowly, usually thick soups, spagetti-os,cream cheese, yogurt and puddings are easy to handle.I have also been able to eat thin sliced turkey or ham even in a sandwich of soft bread with mayo and tomatoes. Flounder stuffed with crab meat is light and moist and together with mashed potatoes is a good meal. I hope your mom attempts to eat even small amounts of food, it may well het her to look forward to eating again. | | |

I'm 15 weeks out from surgery it's been hard but I'm eating again, like many of the posts already say, omelettes with butter, mashed potatoes with butter, pasta (very well cooked) with butter or cheese, max calories for minimum swallows.
Sunshine... love and hugs
