    I also had a feeding tube. I tried every thing to get rid of it. My first food I really ate was a soft boiled egg/ and Campbell's broccoli cheese soup. That's what I did for a week . It tasted like angels 😇 made it. Just keep trying any thing Don't give up

    I agree veecat, as far as feeding tubes go we usually don't want them any longer than we need them.

    I know and relate to what you are saying when you get to eat the first food when you were on the tube for a while what ever food or drink it is the taste is so fantastic, and like you I remember it was so good. And for me also that first cup of coffee and to sip and savor the flavor was fantastic. Thanks for your input.

    Take Care, God Bless
