I too didn't have a Peg and I lost about 30% of my body weight and I also would choose the same path if I had to do it over again for the first time. I am also back to almost pre Tx normal and I definitely agree with Gary....eat all your favorite fatty horribly not good for you foods starting now and quit when you will have to during the throws of Tx.
You will be glad you found this site as it will prove as valuable as anything in your arsenal. Don't hesitate to ask or complain about anything. Now go order a large meat pan pizza and eat every slice.
