By avoiding processed food, I kind of meant Doritos!
My main concern isn't HOW to get calories in - it is WANTING to get calories in! I do try a variety of foods - that isn't my problem...the only reason I mentioned that I don't eat processed foods was in response to the supplement suggestion - I cringe every time I even think about trying to drink any of those things after throwing them up for months...plus other than the calories, they are not very good for you at all. High fructose corn syrup is one of the main ingredients and I banished that from my life years ago. During treatment I tried the supplements because I had no choice - but found that I couldn't physically tolerate them. I would literally pour them into the peg tube and throw them right back up.
The reason I posted was because I was wondering if other people lose any interest in food post feeding tube. My suspicion is that my stomach shrank quite a bit from months of not eating. It isn't a taste thing - I taste food just fine and other than hating meat now, I am pretty much back to normal on that front.
