Brian,

Thanks for saying what I was thinking. Losing 35-45 pounds in a couple of months is nothing like being the weight of a high schooler. I imagine that getting through treatment without a peg tube is in part a way of having some control over a terrible process which I can completely understand. But, paradoxically, you may be gaining control in one way just to lose the control which is most important which is to control for the hydration and nutrition needed to maintain overall health.
