Well, my weight was the same this morning as it was last time I was weighed last Friday, and I'm quite pleased with that, given the circumstances. I've not been pushing myself to eat well past discomfort levels, not like I was when I was in hospital to gain weight, so I'm happy that I can at least maintain without excessive discomfort. I'm still finding eating is gradually becoming easier, so hopefully soon I'll be comfortable eating a little more and can start gaining.
The NG feed gives you all the vitamins and things you need, so it should make you feel healthier. For me, and I think this is true for everyone having NG feeding, they start you on quite a small amount - I began by only getting a couple of hundred calories per twenty-four hours from it, as it's supposedly easier on your system that way. In particular, if you've not been able to eat or keep down much for a while, your stomach may not be used to food. Also, there may be a concern about refeeding syndrome if you've had very little nutrition; people are usually given certain supplements to help prevent this when starting feeding - do you know if your doctors are planning this for you? It wasn't an issue for me, as although I was underweight I was still eating a fair amount, but my doctors prescribed me the supplements anyway. But yeah - don't worry if you don't get immediate results as the amount of feed given at first is very small, and will probably be gradually increased over a couple of weeks depending on how well your body's coping with refeeding.
