GTube

Is anyone having issues with GTube? The last 2 time I went to clean mine out, nothing came out. I thought that was weird. Especially since the 1st few times was a lot of fluid. Not sure what's going on. I had surgery on Tuesday and so far haven't had too much luck. Just found out that the whey I was taking before the surgery I'm now allergic too. I thought it was the brand but since I have tried 2 other brands and came to the conclusion that it's the whey. I have bought soy protein but haven't tried it yet. I also haven't been able to keep anything from going in one end and coming out the other immediately. I was worried about dyhyration. Called the doctor and he told me to go to the hospitol if things don't change (2 hour drive). Today I've kept down about 30 oz of water and 6 oz of stage 1 baby fruit.

 The water and baby food amount is good since you've just got out of surgery but you know you need to increase but if you aren't able to retain it long that could get hairy so do as the doc said, if it doesn't stop then please go to the hospital, you don't want to get worse.  I can't help with the GTube, I didn't come home with one.  I sure hope you get better soon hon.  

I had my surgery on the 30th and after my second surgery due to twisted and colapsed bowles 2 days later, at 1st i was having issues with the gtube very very uncomfortable and was still having issues with keeping things, but now that i am on day 5 from my 2nd surgery i is much much better i was at 1st thinking that i had made a big mistake but now it is starting to get better just hang in there and good luck.

also about the g-tube the 1st few times i drained it i was getting a signifigant amount and it was all kinds of colors but now i only get about the oz that i put in it to clean it and it is a clear color with a little bit of a blackish tint, i have not used it for meds or anything just to drain and clean it. but it is definatly the most uncomfortable thing about the surgery now that all my other issues have kinda faded away so i cant wait till the day i get it removed.
