I had a neck dissection and to be honest had 6 weeks to eat boy eat! and boy I did all the rubbish you could of thought of
I had a blip in my plan had to beg them to insert a NG tube in 4 weeks into my 7 week RT sessions but it did save me and gave me fluids and feed. I should of had a PEG but turned it down, with the benefit of hindsight eh!
I am now 80kgs ish have been off the NGT for 2 days and building up calories daily, finding things I like etc.
I have been overweight since I 20 but now like to look I have even if no clothes fit that well. Trying this week to bulk up food and not expend to much energy to allow recovery to take place.
I have a blender and juicer and found that melon and carrot juice are real winners!
Steeplechase
