Drink your meals. With a Vitamix, you can blend most of what you would eat. It tastes like food not terrible like Jevity or the other nutrients. In reading posts here about the PEG, a recent one by Christine struck me. She posted that if she could stand the taste of the canned nutrients, she could get rid of the PEG since she can swallow. Other posters have said that they stayed on their PEG because they had difficulty swallowing enough calories. Here's something to consider

I have been intrigued by the Blenderized Diet people. The primary proponents are mothers whose children require a feeding tube. For both health and psychological reasons, they want their child to be able to join in the meals with the family in some way. Here is a link to a brand new Blenderized Diet site/forum.
BD forum Full Disclosure, I post there also as I have found this to be more fun than the other sites on BD such as the Yahoo group and the Syracuse University List serve and even the Oley Foundation.
Nothing is easier than food fully blended. Don't forget that oral cancer patients can get a medical discount on a Vitamix 5200 (reduced to $300) -Even more disclosures: I don't get any commissions but I am biased in Vitamix's favor since they picked my story as one of their Inspiration winners and I just got my coffee table book with it published in the mail.
This has no relevance to the majority of OCF posters but for those of us who do deal with food and peg issues, it's a good source of information.
Coincidence: the main posters on the Adult G tube forum are named Eric, Brian and Charm2017
