Hey. Haven't posted in a while. Feeling a little blue but that's another forum! I haven't eaten since first week of may. No PEG tube. My dr said they only put them in as last resort as they feel ultimately they do more harm than good. I have lost about 50 pounds. I was overweight to start with so it's not as bad as it seems. My question is this. I have got to start eating. I have some magic mouthwash and feel like I can swallow but there is fear of burning and choking. Does anyone have any good ideas about what to try first?
