After Eleven long months of nothing but Jevity 1.5 down my feeding tube, I finally had Chinese Take Out for dinner tonite.
No, I did not suddenly regain my ability to swallow nor eat even a teeny tiny bit of food. Instead, my brand new VITAMIX machine made short work of Tofu & String Beans Dinner with Rice. It was a little too thick to go down the feeding bag, but it syringed in very nicely with my new 16FR PEG. Ah, to burp and taste Chinese again. Even better, my caregiver wife was able to have some of my entree in addition to hers since it was too much for one serving. So good, I will blend it again tomorrow for a unique breakfast. this has got to be more healthy than the corn syrup solids that make up Jevity
