I tried several different things today to see if I could begin to eat soft foods. First tried some chocolate milk. It tasted good. I took several sips at two different times and enjoyed it.
Then I tried some cut up peaches in juice. It was ok but I didn't want to eat too much of it afraid it would nauseate me. I ate three small pieces and had enough.
Then I tried a baked potato with lots of butter. Put a little dab on my tongue and it was awful. I had read on the cancer forum that potatoes and meat would be the hardest to tolerate after radiation. I spit it out and rinsed my mouth out and gagged a lot.
Later in the day I tried another popsicle - this time orange flavored. I actually took several small bites of it and swallowed with no problems. It didn't taste bad.
Then I tried a tiny piece of tuna in oil. Big mistake. It was terrible. I gave it to the cats.

So three out of four ain't bad, I guess.
Today I ingested through my PEG tube 1116 calories, 84 grams of protein, and 18 ounces of water.
