Hello all!
When I was really, really weak, I would only eat after taking a nap or sleeping through the night. I kept a stash of chocolate by my bad, as well as Ensure to choke down. Now I cannot STAND the smell of Ensure - just makes me remember the bad times......:
If you are too tired to eat, take a NAP and then try to do so. I also noticed that liquids were just too thin (kept choking) so I added some mix to make them a bit thicker - it really, really helped! You may want to ask your dr's about it.
Nasal aspiration is a real concern when you sound "drunk" or too "nasally" - this is not fun, so please, please do not push it. For me, that meant no soda for over a year now - just too darn scared to try one. Oh well! It's better for me anyway!
Hope this finds you all stronger and HAPPY!
love,
Erin
