Breathing and food

[Pyyyyyyyy]

Sometimes food is very hard for me to digest. I am 4th stage emphysema. I still live a fabulous life. Suggestions?

See if your doctor will prescribe build up drinks. If not then you can buy them. My mother had great problems eating but did like the Ensure drinks which are very high in calories and have all the vitamins in. They come in all sorts of flavours including yogurt. x

What is the 4th stage of emphysema, but if I were you maybe health shakes maybe your Dr. could name you a few so your get every thing your body needs. Maybe that would help. How do you know your in the 4 stage? What happens?

Hi

Try purée your food.

Make batches and blend then freeze in portion amounts.

My husband chokes on his food and gets SOB. I would say to drink those zensure drinks and try a soft food diet.

How do you know you are in stage 4, you must be on oxygen 24/7 then, what do you do to live a fabulous life ?

I believe that GOD has a reason for my condition. I live with what I have and I am greatful. I stay busy and active when I feel good. Rest when I am tired. I have what I have and have to live with it and make it work.
