Nelie,

I use egg beaters and add milk to it. They come out softer and not so dry. You can use regular eggs as well. Try angel hair pasta. It might work for you. I make it with oil & butter, or a white cheese sauce. Small bites.

I am having problems swallowing again. I am starting to choke again. I am getting ready to get my esophagus dilated again. I have had to revert back to oatmeal and real easy meals for me to eat. Potatoes are out for me as well. I also found that trying to eat a regular meal amount was to much. I eat a child portion, then few hours later eat a little more.

Lately I too have had my mouth bothering me more. Not sure why? It is stinging. I am trying to rinse & swallow some meds. for thrush to see if it will help.

I can understand the wanting to get rid of the feeding tube! If you can put together enough food ideas to survive, it should work. You will feel like a new women after it is gone. laugh

Hope something here has given you some support and ideas to think about.

Take care,
Diane
