Hello Chris,

If you don't have a peg tube you might want to ask your doctor about one. You need to input enough nutrition to heal and maintain your weight.
Some go without one and do fine. If you can't get anything down orally you will lose alot of weight. The peg tube has been discussed many times on this forum. You can go to the search engine at the top of the page and research this issue.

All my Best, Danny Boy
