@lizzyj58 I managed to stay off a feeding tube. I started losing some weight and I knew I needed to get calories in. I would eat a creamy peanut butter and jelly sandwich with Boost drink daily. It would take 45 minutes to an hour to get down. The peanut butter for protein and jelly to help slide it down. Maybe a banana if I could. I started to maintain weight at that point. I also eat alot of eggs anyway I could during that time. However, MANY folks go on a feeding tube and then wean off with no isssues. I did not want to go that route unless I had too. God speed.
