So Happy for you Billy,
I was peg dependent too. Now, I have gained so much weight, my pants won't fit. It is so much fun to eat now even though I can only eat on one side and my teeth do not meet, somehow, I tried one food at a time and it still takes me forever to eat. BUt I just take my time and relish every minute of it. It was so scary at first. Keep Carnation Instant Breakfast on hand, just as a backup. That made me feel better.
Take care!
Debbie

Reconstruction failed. Some radiation, no chemo.
