Pre | 3 Mth | 6 Mth | Self evaluation of eating and drinking (6 Month post) | |
CP1 | I rarely get choked by food. I often have small tensions in my throat that cause me to swallow incorrectly. I eat all kinds of food. | Swallowing is not problematic but sometimes it’s a little difficult to swallow. It depends on the day and on how much tension I feel in my body. | When I keep quiet its unproblematic. I eat all kinds of food. | Chewing and swallowing food is slightly improved. |
CP2 | I eat pretty much every thing but I mostly avoid to eat hard things such as hard meat. | I have a good meal experience, and I eat all kinds of food. | I have a good meal experience, and I eat all kinds of food. | I can now sense food reissue in my mouth after eating. I use my tongue or brush my teeth to cleanse my mouth after eating. When I drink I have less coughs than before because I don’t absorb as much air when I drink anymore. |
CP4 | For the most part my eatig experience is fine. Sometime I a am swallowing down the wrong pipe. Sometime I even get my own saliva into the wrong pipe. I eat all kind of food. | I have a good meal experience and I eat all kinds of food. | I have a positive meal experience with almost no difficulties with swallowing and I eat everything. | I do not swallow down the wrong pipe as much. I can feel my tongue is much more active and that I can get my tongue further forward. I feel a little improvement in drinking especially when I drink from a bottle. |
CP5 | My experience varies a lot in terms of how I feel and some days I cough a lot and get the food down the wrong pipe. The consistency of my food varies depending on who is making the food. | I think it’s getting easier to eat. I don’t have to concentrate as much. I don’t get food down the wrong pipe as often. | I clearly experience that it has become easier to eat than before. I no longer think in the middle of the meal “Do I want to eat more”. | I have become more aware of where the food is in my mouth. I experience fewer coughs. It's much better. |
CP6 | I eat all kind of food. I am aware of how I eat when I eat with others. When I drink I take big sips and it does not look good. It is better when I take small sips and use straws. | I never get anything in the wrong pipe. However, when I think about it too much and want make it perfect then it does not go as well. | I don’t have problems with swallowing food. My concerns regarding my meal time is more related to cutting out food, and bring the food to the mouth and spills, especially when I eat with strangers. | I feel no change |
CP7 | Yes I eat all kinds of food. I’m a little slower at eating than other people. Mashed potatoes are my favorite food, maybe because it is easy to eat? | I don’t think about my meal time experience. I eat all kinds of textures and consistencies. My favorite food has always been mashed potatoes, maybe because it is easy to eat? | I do not feel that I have as much food and saliva in the corner of my mouth as before.

CP8 | I eat all kinds of food and I experience no challenges. I am pretty good at figuring out what is easy to chew. | I think my mealtime is going very well. | I don’t experience any difficulties in eating. | I’ve become better at chewing. I chew food a little more thoroughly. |
CP9 | I am very concerned about the social aspects of eating because talking and eating at the same time is difficult. I smack and get food residue on my mouth. I eat all kinds of food. | I eat all textures. I think about eating a little slower and about drinking a little more water. And I might cough a little less. I don’t get so much food stuck on the roof of my mouth and on my teeth. I don’t get food down the wrong pipe as much. | I think I am a little better at chewing my food. I don’t get food down the wrong pipe as often. I eat everything | I am better at chewing and my mouth is less open. And I don’t get food in the wrong pipe as often. |
CP10 | I eat everything. I don’t think so much about it. I eat to survive. | The meal time is nothing special for me. It is a good feeling to be full. I eat everything. | Eating is a natural thing, I don’t think about any challenges and I eat everything even hard foods. | No changes experienced, and no remarks |
