Depending on a feeding tube for life isnt the best situation but it can be done. I can barely eat but at least I am able to eat a few things like yogurt, soup broth, and I make the best smoothies. For some odd reason I am always watching the food channels and learning all kinds of new cooking tricks. I do cook once in a while for my children when they visit so I try out new creations on them. Im also several years into this so Ive learned to adapt. In time you can too.
Hang in there!
