Don't worry, you'll be okay I'm sure!
My dad had something similar happen when he got cancer in the back of his throat. He had to have his throat cut open and the cancer lump removed, and afterwards he could only eat jello/pudding, mashed potatos, etc.
Think of it this way, YOU GET TO EAT A TON OF APPLESAUCE
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE LIVING MY DREAM
I luv applesauce :D
(Anyway, I'm one million percent positive it will be ok! I know its scary, but afterwards it will be so much better. Good luck :)
