Hi Folks,
Well I just finished 10 weeks post TX. I am doing IK, I eat lots through my mouth and will get the PEG aka Umbilical Cord out in a couple of weeks. I am still wek and need naps but I look better and I feel more positive, So here is a question. I am eating most anything I want, meat, pasta, vegies, bread and evan chocholate. I almost always need a sip of fluid with each swallow. I can handle that, What does bug me is how coated my theeh get when I eat. There is almost a meal caked to my choppers. I need to floss and brush after every meal. I guess it is a good thing. I am even gaing some weight back, I think, I went from 195 to 160. Also my taste buds aere comming back
I eat bird sized bites and do take a while to consume a meal. I use to be the fastest eater, I am dead last now.
So todays Thanksgiving dinner will take a while to get down, but it sure will be good!
Happy T'
Steve
