Hi, we have similar challenges. If I eat out, it is only with my wife, and I typically get soup or something I know I can eat without having to cough it up. I also can not move my head or talk when I eat, as I will choke. The main reason I blend my meals or drink protein shakes when at home is to maintain my weight. Weight maintenance has been a challenge since I had my treatments. When I travel, I bring a blender with me or purchase one locally. None of this is ideal or what I had envisioned as my "new normal," but it is better than the alternative. While that is easier said than done, I try to keep it in perspective...

Have a great weekend also!
