Start with the instructions
Copy food and drink advice into the first field, including texture, temperature and precautions while numb. Ask for examples if “soft” is unclear. Blending a food does not automatically make it suitable for your procedure.
Add meals and snacks
Use one row per meal or snack, with preparation notes. The texture label is for planning, not a clinical assessment. Tick confirmation only after checking against your instructions. Ask your team when to change diet; the tool supplies no recovery timetable.
Dietary needs and facilities
Record allergens and practical needs, then check ingredients and preparation with whoever supplies the food. The tool cannot detect allergens or cross-contamination. A prescribed diet or swallowing difficulty needs appropriate clinical advice. Note available facilities and who can shop or prepare food.
Check the shopping list
Enter each item on a separate line. Identical lines are combined, ignoring capitals, but quantities and nutrition are not calculated. Check amounts yourself. Add notes about refrigeration, preparation or availability and consider an alternative if a meal is unavailable.
If eating remains difficult
A tick does not show healing is complete. Contact your treating team if symptoms interfere with eating or drinking. Breathing or swallowing difficulty needs immediate local emergency help. Entries stay in page memory unless you download or print; review private dietary details before sharing.
