Cracked tongue

Hi

I'm 7 months post treatment for tonsil cancer and just wanted to let you know that I experimented also with different makes of food. So, I can't eat Aldi Quavers (too chewy) but can do Walkers Quavers-have done for last 4 months. I can't do easily, peanuts but can do cashews. I also just found Jacobs Cracker Crisps and they are great as very light and crispy. I also love cheese on toast and have managed it for last 4 months, the hotter and runnier the cheese the better. I can't do Waitrose jacket potatos, but Tesco are amazing...it's so bizarre !

All the best

Still not happy with potatoes, mashed, jacket, roast but crisps are ok. 
Anybody else find spuds grainy and uncomfortable to swallow? 

I find it depends on the type of potato. I'd honestly hardly given the type of potato a passing thought before throat cancer. Now the potato aisle takes me a lot longer :)

Hi

I reply to comments but I'm not sure they are being seen and there are comments made which make no sense, so I must be missing things (hope you get this).

7 months post and mash can be grainy although shop bought is better. Stumbled across Tesco jacket potatos and they are really smooth and creamy, Asda is a good runner up. I can manage all potato as long as hot, as soon as they cool, the texture changes and I find them harder to swallow..

I don't really eat many potatoes any more as I've found them so problematic.  Mash is definitely out as it's too gloopy to swallow and I don't like the grainy texture in my mouth.

I can enjoy a waxy new potato with butter or a couple of chips on a good day.  Also a Maris Piper roasted potato but all in small quantities.  Crisps are a definite no go still - they cut my mouth and tongue and get stuck in my throat.

I've been experiencing problems with the website too Piya but it seems ok today so far......

Aww Hazel, were they nice?! I hope they were!! Xo 

Hi Tricia! I cant wait to I can eat normal food, the no saliva and no taste has a real impact! 

Thanks for replying Tricia

Yes Dee I savoured each individual one for you and sent the thoughts across the Irish Sea to you. Hope you slept well again last night ?

plain crisps tonight just had 2 squares of dark chocolate as well. Your turn will come promise.

Hi Dani, I can get the potatoes down ok but all my food is mashed up so there's very little chewing, just in and swallowed! 

Hi Linda, all this talk of food is making me hungry
