Level 4 Diet - Had TORS procedure and tonsillectomy. Been placed on Fortisips and after 2 weeks, I'm not feeling so good. Do you have any advice?

Hi, I have recently had a TORS procedure and Tonsillectomy looking for the primary cancer site, the team placed me on a blended diet with Fortisips and after nearly 2 weeks I feel sick just at the thought of consuming anything more with no texture! I am feeling weak, light headed and unsure what to do, could you offer any advice please?

  • Hello Jampot78 and thank you for posting,

    I am sorry to learn of your situation. This must be a difficult time for you.

    Not being involved in your care, it is difficult for us to advise you. If you have contact details for anyone from the team at the hospital, it is best to contact them as they know your situation.

    Or whether you have a dietitian or speech and language therapist you can contact for advice.

    It may also be worth contacting the cancer and nutrition helpline. This is a helpline that has been set up by dietitians for people affected by cancer.

    I hope this reply helps in some way. Please feel free to come back to us, if you would like to speak with one of our nurses on the helpline we are available between 9am and 5om Monday to Friday and the freephone number to call is 0808 800 4040

    Take care,

    Jemma
