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 with added protein powder daily. It would take an hour to get down. Slow small bites. The peanut butter for protein and jelly to help slide it down. Maybe a banana if I could. You will need to Force yourself to eat. I started to maintain weight at that point. I also ate alot of eggs anyway I could during that time. Soups and cottage cheese. I tried to make whatever I ate count, so to speak . 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. Today almost 3 years out I can eat anything and I am back to about 95%. Hang in there. God speed.
