Hi Philipp:

When I finished my treatments (radiation and chemo) for tonsil cancer in Jan 08, I had a PEG for about 6 months until it got infected - then it had to come out, so instead of having another one put in, I chose to swear to eat anything I could, which wasn't much. I would eat mostly things like potatoes and gravy that would slide down easy, sometimes, or soups. But, the biggest thing was I supplemented with an idea I got from this forum. It's Carnation Instant Breakfast VHC which has 560 cals in a small 8 oz can. All you have to do is drink 5 or 6 of those a day to get the calories you need. You can get them over the Internet (which I did and it took only about 3 days), or from the pharmacy depts of places like Walgreens or CVS. Be sure to get the VHC (Very High Calories) variety. After all this time, I still have to have my esophagus stretched occasionally, and I have to wash most of my food down. I, too, have no appetite and become nauseous even thinking of eating, but I FORCE MYSELF TO, AND YOU CAN TOO. Take your mind off eating while you eat, watch TV, or read, or do anything other than think of eating
