been on peg fulltime for 20months , i struggle just taking a few sips of coffee oral owing to excess saliva but havent been trying very often (naughty me ) speech therapist gave me some baby food to try early on but it was to gritty and took more time to rinse out than what i managed to swallow .
on the down side is realising how many food ads are on tv these days , on the plus side my "food" shopping bill is only $11 a month .
