Hi all. Unfortunately I had jaw surgery last year that did not work. I am unable to chew basically most foods and will be undergoing a much more extensive surgery in January. I’m not worried about places to eat (a very kind person translated for me “I have had jaw surgery and would like something soft and not chewy.” I’m laminating it on a card for restaurants). What a gift that was - the Camino had already given me something without beginning.
I am walking the Portuguese route in October.
My fear is snacks - no nuts, fruit or trail mix for me. I am bringing a small set of utensils for soft cheeses and purchased silicone bottles to put local honey in so I can squeeze in my mouth. Any other suggestions? Are protein shakes available? I’m worried about protein intake and have become anemic already due to the jaw surgery.
