I was not comfortable with my feedings until after I came home from surgery even though the PEG was installed prior to that when I started chemo. I find now that when I eat regular food a small amount will sometimes make me feel very full. I also find that some foods make my stomach uncomfortable. I am still using the PEG for most of my nutrition while I learn to eat.
I hope that it improves.
