Yes the feedings are time consuming; but my Dad actually found the longer he set the pump to drip; the better he felt. The feedings made him feel sick; he managed to do 3 day; the dr suggested more. He was using Glucerna for diabetics; it's the only one he found agreed with him; and only 235 cals each can. Not many calories for a guy his size or for anyone. He lost 50lbs. I read online Nestle has a high cal drink; you might want to look into it.

Glad you are having hydration. Now just sit back relax and do your feedings; watch tv or play on the computer; or doze off sitting up in a comfy chair. The nurse told my Dad not to forse anything in by mouth not even water.

Sounds like you are doing great for where you are at in your treatment.

Hey Tim; it's only been 3 1/2 months since my Dad finished his treatment and he's out eating in restaurant; spicy foods and all. So just know it gets better.
