Hi. I am a laryngectomy having had the life saving surgery last June 2017. It was life changing and I have to say challenging. I am still struggling with learning to talk again but more so struggles with eating food is almost daily. I tend to dread when it’s time to eat dinner. I mainly eat soft foods . Yoghurt, soup, ice cream, smoothies, anything that will slide down . It strange how one day I can eat scrambled egg and then on another day, it gets stuck and I can’t swallow or get it down me! Crazy ! Does anyone else have this problem?? My consultant has said ages ago , my eating would never be ‘normal’ but I find it so frustrating. Going out for a meal, which I really miss , is still a no no. Yesterday I managed a little bit of chicken casserole , fabulous went down fine. And now today, scrambled egg, nope . I feel I go two steps forward and five steps back ....
Help !!
