Stephanie,
I had a couple sample cans of the the Carnation Instant Breakfast Plus -(Vanilla/Vanilla Swirl). So today, I tried one and it isn't bad. I need to look into the VHC - the CCC doesn't seem to get any VHC samples.

A few weeks ago, I had tried a vanilla drink, but it was a no-go. A week or two can really make a big difference in taste.

I haven't been using my PEG much, (just nibbling and drinking ensure, juice and stuff), consequently I have not been keeping up the calories like I should.

Without an appetite is so easy to get busy and let the nutrition issue slip.

I had gained so much extra weight for TX, that I can't believe I have now lost all of it and about eight pounds more!

A couple weeks ago my ENT told me I should get back to going to the gym, and that should help my appetite. Instead it has just caused my PEG hole to bleed and now it hurts like hell!

Back to couch-potato for two more days, then this PEG is out!
