Hello everyone. I haven't posted since my husband was in tx. We are now back home in Ga. He is 4 weeks post tx. I hope we are starting to see the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. He still has some mouth sores, but they are slowing getting better. He has the extreme sore throat. He has been struggling with his PEG feedings for the past few weeks. He says they make him feel too full. He was started on metoclopramide a couple weeks ago to help with the gastric empyting. This has seemed to help, but he desperately wants to eat by mouth. My trouble is coming up with ideas on what to feed him. He is a finicky eater in the best of situations. He turns his nose up at the thought of pureed food. He will not eat yogurt or cottage cheese. He has drank the broth of some canned soups. He will eat some melted ice cream. Tried some canned peaches last night, but they stuck in his throat and he panicked and I have to say I did too. I thought I would ask the experts here for some ideas. Thanks Amy
