Welcome to the site. You are just up the street from me (Federal Way) Did you have your surgery at the UW? Being from the northwest I got my extra calories from Starbucks berry cream frappachinos! Okay, not quite so heathly as vegtable juice but they can sure coat a sore throat! I had my peg for 6 months and one problem you might run up against from not eating chuncky food is your mouth doesn' stretch open as wide as it used to. Spend some time opening and working the mouth muscles (pretend you are eating a large subway sandwich). That way when you do get past the cream soup level you can eat the bread!! Hang in there, it does get better! - Kris
