Post Mouth Surgery Food Suggestions​

Good morning dear members!

One of our beloved members has recently undergone a massive surgery in her mouth, impacting everything from her jaw, to her lips, tongue etc. As a result, she can only eat very soft foods over the new few days at ROOM TEMPERATURE. I was talking to her on the forum, and she was telling me she is sick of jelly, yoghurt and melted ice cream. She also told me she isn't a fan of luke warm soup (understandably!).

Does anyone have any suggestions on what she could eat? That would be room temperature, soft and hopefully also enjoyable? Maybe you know of a soup recipe that tastes better at room temperature? Or maybe you've been through a similar surgery and have some personal suggestions!

Thank you so much for your help, I know this dear member will really appreciate it

When I had my tonsils out earlier this year I ate a lot of brioche (by itself and dipped in soup). Mashed potatoes and gravy cooled to room temp is also a bit of a more filling option.

Hope you feel better soon!

Gazpacho is a tasty tomato soup designed to be eaten cold so it may be more appetising at room temperature. Did you get any advice from a dietitian who may be able to help with other food choices?

 

[Liz]

Hope the member gets better soon. All I can suggest is mashed potato and pumpkin at room temp. What about custard?

Scrambled eggs.. don't need to be hot
Custard
Apple sauce
Salmon or tuna
Smoothies...using a metal staw to drink
Any pureed fruit or vegetables
Yoghurts.. a good source of proteins
Tin spagetti

I think a dietitian would be the answer. They do telehealth phone calls.

 

[gillermer]

Protein drinks are good, I also add a banana and process it all together. You can also get powdered greens from health shops to add

 

[Suzanne rose]

I spoke to her yesterday and gave her my suggestions . One that would be good is stewed apple and custard and I know she has already been having smoothies.
I know she will appreciate any suggestions.

Also for those who believe in God please pray for a speedy recovery and for her to be cancer free Thank you

Thank you everyone for your suggestions.

Most of them I have tried, with varying degrees of success. Having had most of my teeth taken out as well, and a mouthful of stitches I have to be extra careful. For the moment I have lost the ability to suck so using a straw is out of the question.

Thank you all also for your best wishes, They have helped me enormously as I battle this dreadful disease.

If you have been offered dietician support through Cancer services, take advantage of it, I found that they they can be irritating at times but are usually able to offer some suggestions that will help. Hope that you get past this soon, just remember that you are not alone, Sending best wishes and happy thoughts your way,

Potato and leek soup - eaten cold or hot (Vichyssoise)

 

[Penny4]

You can get Sustagen 'ready to drink' that come in a pack of 3 at woolworths.
Also, AdVital powder is good for when people aren't eating properly and unwell. It contains protein, vitamins and minerals and is Low GI. It's available at chemists. You can mix it up with milk or whatever cool drink you like.

I wish this lady a quick recovery and my sympathy. I love pumpkin soup hot or cold and it can be frozen.

Hummus (smooth chick pea dip) is an excellent form of protein, and tastes lovely.
