Joined: May 2010 Posts: 11 | Hi again,
Hate to bother you people again, but the "weakness" I feel doesn't seem to get any better. I'm eating pretty well, at least not losing any weight, lost 35 lbs which I could afford, thankfully I beat the PEG, never had to use it, but I can't afford to lose more. The problem is I feel so weak sometimes, I just don't understand it. I don't feel like doing the things I used to like to do, like fishing, playing guitar etc. Am I missing something or is this normal recovery? Thanks for any info. Jack

I also found myself suffering from malnutrition issues due to me limited diet after my peg was removed. I also give myself biweekly B-12 shots. And also part of it is just the healing process. Carmen
