I agree with Tom. I lived on Ensure from Walmart for over a year on a PEG, that coupled with blender drinks and way too many canned peaches. My weight stayed on once I got on the PEG. It's a function of calories per day. But with a willing attitude, I expanded to poached eggs, mashed potatoes, baby food, pureed blender stuff my wife would make.... and as time went by it got better and better. But you have to want to do this, I'll be the first to admit this isn't an easy transition. And I still today have to rinse almost everything down with tons of water....the downside being that I am often full of water before I'm full of food. I have a local survivor who is now 8 years out and lives off of blender drinks only. This is by choice, he isn't willing to try, and is satisfied with the way he is.....
