For Me...
Deb, while I didn't have the PEG, I did mainly survive on Ensure during the rough times.
Now one thing that I di like a lot, and eat routinely was sweetned DelMonte Sliced Peaches in Light Syrup.
They slid down with minimal effort, but kept the throat muscles working.
I also ate canned, frozen and fresh spinach..something I always liked before treatment.
Anyways, those are a fe of my foods that worked for me.
BTW, I too was STGIII Tonsils...
Best,

Hi, I just want to suggestBillie67 said:Saliva
I think the reason only the first few bites of something tastes good is because our saliva helps with so much and taste is one of the things it helps. The first few bites are ok because we have the saliva but then we dry up. It's hard to swallow and taste. I have found that if I go slow and wait a few minutes, my saliva will start to pick up again and I can taste a few more bites. Drinking milk with food seems to help too as it seems to stimulate or at least mimic saliva. At 9 weeks it is getting a little better tho. With any hope and luck we will all get it back.
Hi, I just want to suggest sucking on a lemon wedge. That will help stimulate your salivary glands . I hope that helps you, and others . :-)0
