Susan Laura, I had the PEG inserted in January, as I was sick 3-5 times a day from amnifostine(ethol) I lost 10 lbs. in 5 days. I was taking 3 different anti nausea meds which did not help at all, inluding zofran.Had the tube removed on June 17th and am eating lots of different foods. Taste good tooo as I love food anyway. I lost 50 lbs total, and have been maintaining my weight for the past month. I am eating lots, but can not yet eat many things, that are too dry or hard or rough. Some things still burn. you learn as you go along. Egg salad, scrambled eggs, pastas, alfredos,soft bread, soft sausage, lots of different foods are working. Also keeping up with Ensure Plus too make sure I am getting proper vitamins and nutrition. I do not have saliva, so whatever I eat I have to gulp some liquid for it to go down. But it was ONE HAPPY DAY when that tube was removed!!!!!!!!! Hang in there. This entire process is quite lengthy. Dont rush it. I tried to and now back slided a bit. tried to do too much, too soon, so I am battling fatigue and pain in my throat. Had some tests and scans done. Will see whats what on Tuesday. Hope its nothing major.
