It takes a long time to heal. I was not prepared for the post treatment.

    Oh!
    Oh, but it is so good to eat! (Sorry Greend). I have been able to eat again for a little over a week. Slow yes, but so good. (Limitations with spice but that is not such a big deal) People say that eating slowly is good for us anyway, just think of it as being good for digestion.

    I think your hubby and mine are on the same "healing" timetable, so maybe this will help. Bob has been drinking his Jevity for about two months. He said it doesn't take worse than any of the other things, and it is quick and easy to just chug it down. He's managed to get his weight back up to a decent level, and he's thrilled to not use the PEG tube.
    Hope that helps!
