Kinda funny. I do carry a bottle of water with me everywhere, but usually I just put up with the dry mouth. Around the house I'm never without a glass of ice water to sip. Sometimes it's easier to drink juice instead of water, especially when I have to get a bunch of pills down.

I keep trying with pudding, yogurt, and believe it or not, I can get some cereal down if it's sopped real good with milk, but my appetite gets tired after a few bites. Depending on how much energy I have, I'll try to finish it.

Anyway, I was wondering if I should give any of the appetite stimulants they prescribe a try. So far the salagen hasn't offered much improvement in the salivary gland department.

You know, I almost think I should demand the PEG be removed so I'm more motivated to eat, but I'm afraid of removing my "backup" for nutrition.
