Thanks for the info Brian, and Peg Wars lol. I can relate to the Must Do list, which I sometimes translate into Don't Do, and probably one of the worst patients as far as compliance goes, even if I know better, but for doing so, I pay for it. I still have my 2nd peg, for a number of reasons, more for a back-up as opposed to really needing it now, but did use it during recent surgery, treatment for additional nutrients, hydration. I'm still down about 70lbs from my pre-cancer weight, not going back either, but did gain back 45lbs at my current weight from my lowest, actually was more, but lost 25lbs since the summer unintentionally.
