The I Can't Chew Cookbook is great! It saved my husband when he started eating again. He had to have all his teeth pulled so he couldn't chew and after neck radiation he couldn't swallow. This book has everything from drinks, to main courses, to desserts. I got it from the library but ended up buying it. If you are just starting out with mouth or throat issues it is worth your while to get this book. (No I am not the author!):)

    I hate to burst your bubble but the two to three weeks after treatment were the worst for me. That's when I lost most of my weight. Hang in there it'll get better!
