I had TORS throat surgery, Neck dissection, 30 rounds of radiation and finished July 2023. It was a STRUGGLE to eat a few months after treatment. I lost my appetite and everything had no taste for a few months. My throat was in bad shape. I ate soft creamy foods/ Boost/Eggs/Cottage cheese/soups for about 3 months once radiation stopped and then slowly back to normal foods. This is a VERY slow process back so be patience. Crunchy sharp food/hard bread/Spicy foods/beer (alcohol) items hurt on the way down for about 6 months. The Good news...One year out of treatment I could eat and drink about anything I wanted. My taste buds were back to about 90% , My throat mucositis had almost gone away, Saliva production 90% and My stamina was back to about 90. Now the Great News...Two years out now today and I can eat ANYTHING including Pizza which I had last night and it was awesome.. Hang in there. Spicy foods are waiting! God Speed
