Hey me too! I have a kick butt smoothie every morning. fruit puree, protein powder (non animal non milk based), chocolate and plain (unsweetened) almond milk, fresh fruit, and a bit of flax oil and cottage cheese... awesomeness (cheesecake in a cup!)

I was also going to second Eric's comment. If you ever want to get off a peg, (and there's no physical reason preventing it) - then start to eat and push yourself. Otherwise as he said... if you don't use it you lose it. if you don't try to maintain your swallowing reflex you will lose it eventually and then even if you want to give up the PEG, you may not be able to. We can make suggestions- but only you can do what has to be done. hugs and take care.
