Eating for maybe the last time

[Lynne K]

I just had poached eggs on toast and then did my teeth with Oralieve toothpaste to help with my very dry mouth. PEG this week and probably a NIV xx

Lynne K you've got a lot on this week and I hope it all goes well. You'll still be able to enjoy your treats as I know other forum members do even with a peg. 👍🏻🙏😘

Lynne K I thought you were still managing to eat safely 🤔 - toast can be tricky but you seem to eat it okay - are you thinking of not eating anything orally once you have a feeding tube? xx

Hi Ellie, I’m going to try and have little treats when I have the PEG. Poached eggs on toast is a favourite but as you say toast is tricky so might just have the eggs and my vegan yogurt. Well as long as my hands work xx

Thanks Linda, very true xx

I have a peg but I don't really use it. If you can manage toast then why not carry on eating? Maybe small moist bite sized. Thats what I go for x

[Lynne K]

shelly21 I have a very dry mouth so toast is now a no no. If I wasn’t intolerant to dairy it could be loaded with butter and go down easier. I wish. I’m waiting on a call from Wythenshaw about going in tomorrow to have my breathing checked xx

Steve told me before he went to the shops a few minutes ago that he’s doing me poached eggs on toast. Fingers crossed that I can cut it up and eat it xx

[Lynne K]

Also Steve’s looking if Morrisons have any vegan pasties because I’ve been able to eat those cold recently as pastry and filling is quite soft. Fingers crossed that I’ll manage xx

[Lynne K]

I had the cold vegan pastie (as can pick it up and not have to use cutlery) with mayonnaise to help with the dry bits of pastry, then put had a vegan yogurt so a normal late lunch for me. Now to go do my teeth with Oralieve toothpaste for dry mouths and get Steve to spray the Glandosane synthetic saliva (sent by my SLT via my GP) in my mouth xx

Lynne K There are plenty of vegan 'butters' out there for your toast which would help with its eating but, of course, the choice to continue eating meals, or not, is your choice to make.

Whatever you decide, make sure you're getting enough calories - don't want you fading away on us 😏😘

Hi Lynne K . You have such alot on this week, I really hope all goes well for you,

As an aside, I tried a diary free diet in the hope it would sort out my tummy problems and found lovely butters and soft vegan cheeses. Also coconut yogurts and vegan chocolate spread.

Hugs to you,
Love Debbie x
