Tom,

I remember the same sentiment for the PEG tube as well. What a disgusting device in spite of it being a lifeline. Eating is no longer something I necessarily look forward to anymore since my taste buds are obviously permanently skewed to some degree. It seems like all foods now fall into 2 categories, tolerable and horrible. I do think there are some mental games still at play however. For instance, the thought of Lasagna tonight sounds great and can't wait only to sit down to a tasteless dish for the most part. For some reason though my brain tries to convince me it was good in spite of the reality. Maybe that is just a new way to approach eating from now on.
