Dear Max, yes, there are alot of folks out here! And many are in the same boat with you. Has anyone discussed a peg tube with you? The next several weeks are going to be tough ones for keeping your nutritional needs up. Do you have help at home? Try the following as long as you can swallow: Danny Boy's Shake recipe, yogurt[plain or flavored,lukewarm bullion[beef or chicken]pureed soups, gatoraid,lots of water. Please let us know what you are trying to eat and maybe we can send more suggestions. Keep posting and let us help you paddle this boat! Amy
