My Fiance, Ryan has just had a tracheotomy put in. I need to find soft foods that are easy to swallow but don't have all the salt and seasonings as He is going through chemo and will be going through radiation again soon as well. (He was just diagnosed with cancer in his head and neck.. about the size of a cantaloupe. Was released from the hospital yesterday after being there for three weeks.) He has a feeding tube but is able to swallow right now (if is careful and is soft foods) until the radiation which won't be for another 6 to 7 weeks. I am looking for soft things for Him to eat while maintaining 2400 cals and 130 - 140 grams of protein. I was told about using a boost or ensure with a powder protein. So we will be picking that up. But if there is any other ideas... that would be great.
