    I’ve migrated to only a select few soft foods and, like Mike, nutrition drinks (OWYN, Soylent, Atkins, Boost) — mostly just drinks since they always go down easily. And I always have a large iced orange juice. The cold seems to help my swallowing.

    When I eat, I pay attention to what I am doing. And I alternate swallowing a (soft) food with drinking something.

    I sometimes miss some foods that require vigorous chewing. But a few episodes of choking were very persuasive.
