I had it put in on a Wednesday and I was sore for a couple of days but it really wasn't too bad at all. I was using it by the next day.

The nutritionist prescribed Osmolite 1.5. By itself it was a little rough on my stomach at first but I started adding water to thin it out and that helped. The key was adjusting the drip on the gravity bag. Too fast and I tossed my cookies. Slow is better. Some folks used a pump that allowed them to feed while sleeping. Also, sitting upright during and for about 30 minutes after feeding helped as well. It also was great to get extra hydration. Hang a bag of water and bingo!
