Because of a leak I am still on 2 TB of food after 15 weeks....still have a feeding tube (but I am not using it). How much is the norm to be consumed at this point? Sometimes I overeat or eat something that doesn't agree with me...I have only been eating for a few weeks now. Also, because of the leak I had been getting 1800 calories on the feeding tube. I have only lost 37 lbs. Will I catch up or will the delay hender me from loosing weight? Joy

Hey girl,
I hope you are feeling better.
Are you going to be at the support group meeting this monday??
I hope you are feeling up to it..would like to see you there.
I still can only eat 1/4 to 1/2 cup of food, not much more then 1month-2months out.  I'm sure you will be catching up very soon since you aren't using your feeding tube...stay positive, I know you have been through alot, I can't imagine! Well, don't over do it and keep up the great work.
Later,
Rachel



Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

I hope you are feeling better soon.  You are still doing well with the weight loss but I am sure it will improve once you get a little more nutrition in.  I only eat 1/2 cup of food at a meal and I try to stay within 3 meals a day.  I do feel like I can eat more but I am not doing it.  That feeling has been troubling me alot.  Keep us posted on how you are feeling.
