I’m 4 weeks post op and am struggling with getting food wet enough to swallow without feeling stuck.
If I start with something that is moist, like tuna with mayo, by the time I have chewed it, all the mayo seems to be gone and I’m left with very dry chewed up tuna that is hard to swallow.
Lately I have been eating food in a bit of cream soup, like a soft boiled egg in a tbsp of cream soup or broth. Then when I’m ready to swallow, I add a wee bit of the soup to hep it go down. Not sure if this is cheating or not.
If I chew less it doesn’t get as dry but it’s too chunky for me.
Do I need to go back to chewing school? 😂
