Congratulations on yet another milestone...PEG day, if you will! I was so hungry when they took mine out and it was lunch time when I left. I suddenly realized I forgot to ask when I should eat. My wife called the nurse and called me back and said no delays or restrictions. I immediately pulled over and got some fried chicken (one of my favs). It still felt a little odd and I was wondering if the chicken was oozing all over the inside of my abdominal cavity. Yes, it was amazing.
I got a lot of sores and blisters about that time that cultured out to be thrush. I don't know if that is your case but it took a while for my oral area to realize there wasn't any more saliva coming. I also noticed sometimes it was brown and on the tongue.
