I am 3 months post rny and I am having to have a deeding tube out in this morning. Not because I am losing to fast but because I can keep anything down and can't quit vomiting long enough to get my body out of starvation and ketosis. My surgeon says its only temporary 2-6 weeks and that after a few weeks of tube feedings my body will be out if starvation and I will be able to keep food down by mouth and can have the tube removed. Anyone else had this problem or know someone who has?

Omg how crazy is that... Good luck honey

Oh no :/ Sorry to hear that. I haven't met anyone who has had the problem. Why aren't you able to keep things down? Is it just too painful, or tastes bad?

I have a feeding tube since 2 months after because of the same reasons still have ie cause can't get my calorie count up. I will worn you don't be suprised when your weight stalls or sincreases. ts a side affect ( as I am told anyway) I have to have 4 cans of jevity a day to keep my calorie count up. Once I can get my calorie count up to 800(which seems easy not so much) I can go down to 3 cans. I hope your experience is much easier than mine. Just know your not alone. Its a hard rode to go.

Sounds horrible hope everything turns out good

Good luck Kelly right now I am starting out on jevity 1.5 50 ml/ hr for 12 hours each night, I must admit it is very discouraging! Does your tube still hurt? How long before you got used to it ? Does it get any easier? How much weight have you lost total if you don't mind me asking? I am scared to death that this will make me gain

Bless your heart! Prayers to you.during this challenging time

Bethel I won't say it gets easier, butyou just get more use to it. I am going 6 months with mine. My dr says my body is in starvation mode so it is hard to lose weight. The medication I am on also dosen't help. Hope all is well with you . need anything just message me.
