Well Mike,
I've not been through your situation as yet, and I thought that others would be along to hel you out with their experience with this, but since no one has yet, I'll try a few little suggestions. How about pudding and jello. They do make sugar-free and they're good for you. Yogurt? All of the drinks like Ensure and their are other brands too. Of course, as you've mentioned there are soups of all kinds that you don't have to chew. I've heard before that you can take just about any meal that you've cooked and put it in the blender and it will be chopped up so fine that it's practically liquid, so that way you're getting the same foods but you don't really have to chew them. Oatmeal, cream of wheat, malt-o-meal? You can put all of the fruits in your blender to make fruit drinks and you can do vegetables. How about a V-8? Just try to get creative. Let us know what all you can come up with. You never know when someone here might be in the same boat. Maybe even me?!?! I know that my time will come soon enough and I'll need your ideas and experience. Maybe some of the others will come up with some ideas soon. Good Luck.
