Do you own a blender? They don't cost too much and can sometimes be borrowed from a friend or relative. Some HIV or AIDS support groups may also loan them out.
If you have ulcers in your mouth or throat, you can in your blender to make them easier to swallow. You can make it thick enough to eat from a spoon or add extra liquid the food from a cup. You can blend foods separately, or blend a whole meal together.
On days you don't feel like eating, you might try making yourself a healthy blender drink. Try some of these and then make up your own. They are all cold to soothe a sore throat. Add 2 tablespoons dry milk to each for extra protein.
