Finally feeling like me again

Hi, i have problems swallowing most foods because of dry mouth, im stuck to porridge, bananas and soup, i have no appetite at all, eating is an ordeal, 

• Hi it will get better try soft inside of a baked potato with cheese and butter like a mash soft poached egg soft cheese pasta anything you like in sauce more sauces things the better it's a new way of eating good luck on the 10 Aug

Appetite can take a while to return. Best advise at min is eat to live not live to eat. Food is fuel. Poached eggs are easy  they slip down. Think nursery food for a while. Rice pudding extra cream in it custard  , trifles jelly. Ready break made with extra milk. I could eat well buttered cheap white bread toasted   Toasting does make it easier. ( Not the  crusts though) 

You may need to have a Luke warm drink  to wash food down it can help.

Will try it, thanks

Thanks for the advice

My appetite completely disappeared for 6 months... break through moment came when I got a cup of coffee down for the first time...then thought what if I dipped a custard cream in it....was soon eating 2 packs a day.  Believe me after 6 months it was heaven..my consultant said there is no such thing as a bad calorie when you haven't eaten for 6 months.

Good luck

Hi Brews, agree with Hazel, it’s just about getting enough calories down you for now. I found sweet baked potatoes easier to digest (with loads of butter). Also milkshakes-fresh or frozen fruits, gold top milk (or the prescribed milk shake powders/ Fortisips if you’ve been given them), ice cream and you can add a few spoonfuls of skimmed milk powder too. Blitz it all up in a blender-loads of calories and easy to get down. Good luck

Thats good to hear, thanks

Thanks for the tips
