I dealt with this too. I think for me it was transitioning back to solid food from a pure liquid diet. I would WANT regular food but it wouldn't stay down or digest very well and I would get sick. IT was very very frustrating. I got down to 95 lbs at my lowest. My biggest problem is that I would need to be hungry to motivate myself to learn to eat again so I would forgo the feeding tube sometimes in order to have the appetite to eat - also my system just didn't like tons of liquid food and then the new solid food together.

I think regular food just took awhile to get used to again.

Hang in there!!!!
