Hi Debbie! I had peg installed before surgery & is already well used, believe me. Right now we're experimenting with other types of peg food that will agree with my system better. Isosource 1.5 just sits there & won't digest. I've got to have 7-8 cans a day so something has to work better. Might have been the oxycodone, but regular food seems to work just fine. I'll keep trying. Been off the narcotics for a while, so we'll see. Anybody read Lance Armstrong's "It's Not About The Bike"? I'm not much of a cyclist, but a couple of friends insisted I read it & I'm glad I did!!! Very inspirational!! Another inspiration was a dermitologist friend that chewed my butt when i was pissin' in my soup about my problems & he reminded me of all I still had to be grateful for, such as, I can walk, hell I can run, see, think, speak at least well enough I don't have to write on a note pad, full control of my bladder, colon, wonderful family, great life overall!!! Man, I could go on & on & on & on. Glass half full? Glass half empty? Which one is it? This disease simplifies things.
