FT life update

Been a while. FT on 8/6. GP said 1600 calories, but struggled w/1.2 Jevities and aspiration. Had to get pro-active to get 1.5 okayed by a competing Medical system. Dietitian said I need 1900. So, doing 1-Boost VHC & 4-Jevities= 1940 calories/day. And, my weight loss has stopped! Physical Therapist said I should have gained more weight than I have, but the above diet has only been happening for last 3 weeks. My spring scale says I've gained 1-2 lbs., and now size 30 jeans are feeling a bit tight. Dropped from 142 to 117 in the throes of C&R back in 2009. Well, now I'm @ 116-117 lbs., like I was when I was Thirteen, but maybe a 2-Boost and 3-Jevity/day diet will make more of a difference.

The negative is the Speech Therapist cannot do anything to help swallowing function. And, with the dry mouth and especially the scar tissue throat...Was having a very negative sensation in my lower-right throat until I started sipping cold flavored water, and doing the ice cube thing. Solved that problem, but am hoping I am not creating another by the above liquid going into my lungs. 

Life is a PITA with having to go home any time I need food(Jevity) to eat, or pills to mix w/water and shoot into tube, but I know it could be worse- so I'm just thankful things seem to have been corrected with getting nutrition into my system the way it should be. Anyone with a FT pump 24/7 truly does have my empathy.
