I insisted on a PEG tube placement and get half my calories through tube feedings. the rest (2 meals) with soft foods. I try to have at least one food or beverage that I look forward to. I also exercise most days so that I have an appetite. My "new normal".

Thank you for your response, I am literally living on nutrition drinks, I had a peg tube for 3 years, it was a nightmare. But only way to get meds down is with thick drinks, even tiny thyroid pill is difficult. Can't wait for Dr appointment at Vanderbilt.
