Biskit: You've certainly found the right place. People here have been thru everything. Take their advice.... Christine is unfortunately the most versed as she's been thru the most. So eat everything you possibly can, you WILL lose weight post surgery, be glad they are putting in the feeding tube... I had mine done during surgery and have been so GLAD I have it now. If you have time, go back and read some of the older posts under "Currently in Treatment". They helped me a lot, even though I didn't find this site until after surgery. Wishing you well for Thursday, sending healing vibes and hugs your way. Ingrid from Chicago.
