Ellen I have a tube in and i'm starting to ween myself off. one thing if you get a pump and feed all nite you have no appetite. now my wife and nurse decided to make me eat more and slow way down on the jevity. one can a little after diner and one before bed. hopefuly i'll be hungry in the morning. just because you have the tube dosn't mean that you can't eat by mouth. just remember you have to still keep the tube clean. I use water. thanks Pat
