So im very nervous but incredibly relieved and slightly excited (14 months of an ng tube and having to reinsert it well over 200 times myself has broken my heart) i want to ask what are your top things i need to remember/know post op. We are currently on neocate advanced formula (Yuck!) And he will eventually be having the mic key button (but for the next few months he will have the long line im guessing.??)our dietician at the hospital has refused to support us doing blended diet so need to find info on blended diet to throw at them and also if anyone in perth western australia knows of a nutritionist who DOES support a blended diet id love their details.. thanks so much this has been a LONG time coming "

  There are two great books that have lots of information and are very helpful. One is Homemade Blended formula handbook available at mealtimenotions.com. The other is by Eric o'gorman available at Amazon. You don't need a dietician or permission. Just do it. Get a good blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec. That is the single greatest help you can have.

  SL wrote, "Help please. I want to transition my 18mo daughter to a blended diet. She's 100% tube fed on a diet of pediatric compleat reduced calorie. We have the support of our pediatrician; but no real guidance. I'm scared to make a mistake and hurt more than help. And finding a local dietician who is familiar with BD is proving difficult to find. Any suggestions? She doesn't have any GI issues or food allergies (that we know of). She gets 600 calories a day in about 30oz of formula/free water. Thank you!"

  Feeding A. asked:

  From a momma: I was wondering if anyone here is doing a blenderized diet with a nutritionist/doc in the Phoenix area, and if I could get a name? I've gotten the impression my son's doc and nutritionist are not fans of the blenderized diet. I've tried doing it on my own but would love professional support.

  We've worked with a coule in PHX and they were no help. If your willing to go to Tucson (we do for feeding therapy) Marsha Dunne Klein is an OT that put together a program and book for blended diet. She is a wealth if knowledge and awesome. Check out mealtimeconnections.com.

  Feeding A. asked:

  From Emily Smallwood Loveless: Does anyone live close to Nogales or Rio Rico, Arizona? My husband and I just came down here on a short trip, cause he just got a teaching job here that will start in Jan. We forgot to pack feeding bags for the infinity pump, and need 2-3 bags. Where could I get some? Please if you live close. Please call or text me at 801-319-7297. Thanks!

  

  Jamie F. replied:

  Please call mealtime connections. 520-829-9635. They are in Tucson, but will likely have infinity bags. You may say I referred you. I would share my extras, but we only have Joey bags.

  AD wrote, "Hello! I am a dietitian in Tampa Florida and my hospital is trying to pilot a blenderized diet program. Before we can get funding for this, I have to show a need for it. Can any of you comment about support or lack thereof that you've gotten from the medical community? If you're in an area that has a dietitian who specializes in this, can you tell me who that is so I can reach out to them for suggestions? Thank you in advance!"
