    Food I Miss
    Peanut Butter, still working on that. Loved peanut butter on hot toast with butter.

    Potatoe Chips, still working on that. I can eat a couple, that's about it.

    BBQ Potatoe Chips, had some yesterday. Burned so much, I was crying. Ate a few anyway.

    Fried chicken and jo-jo's, I can eat the jo-jos, still have trouble with chicken.

    Pizza - if fresh I can eat. Soon as it cools off, I have trouble.

    I'm about 6 months out, and try to eat what I want. If I choke, I choke. But I have noticed some things I couldn't eat a month or two ago, I can now eat, like burritos I can eat now without to much difficulty. Of course, I still have to have something be it water or milk to throw down while eating. But I use what I'm able to eat to gauge my healing progress.

    I'm a big fan of soda, but
    I'm a big fan of soda, but not the typical soda, I like the specialty sodas you can buy at weird grocery stores. I am starting to see them pop up more in normal stores, for example Blood Orange Soda, I bought a case of 6, 1 liter, bottles. I know oranges have citric acid and I know my throat isn't healed enough to drink it. But I did it ANYWAY! Man did it taste good but burned like the sun. This is one craving I had to cure!
