I agree with whats been said start with water work your way up it can take a good month or more to start to see changes and it will get depressing (thats what we are here for) but it really does get better, i couldnt tolerate drinking from a cup or glass i used a straw at first i had a lot of mouth sores, i was told not to put anything other than the prescribed food and drink into my peg but looks like it's different for everyone. wishing you loads of luck and a speedy recovery..
