@Strawberry1 @Santosha12 @Trevor_PIP @PracticeWotUPreach
Thanks for your messages of support,
I had no luck with one of the drinks, and just spent the past hour being sick again. I have one last option when this new powder comes either tomorrow or couple of days (on order at pharmacy). If that doesn't work they will end up putting an NG tube in me.
I'm hoping it doesn't come to that, but we'll see. I'll keep you all updated with my progress.
All the best.

*Update
I've just had to have an NG tube put in me, I tried that other drink but was still sick. So they had no option to put this in me. I'll have it for atleast a week and then be reviewed again and potentially if all goes well slowly introduce food again. Just still getting used to it, constantly feels like something stuck in my throat and it tickles.

Sorry to hear that @rubin16, that sounds so uncomfortable. Have you had one before?
Hopefully it gives you a break from being sick and your body can get some nutrition in. Keep us posted!

Thanks, I've had them before but not for a while. I was probably in my early 20's when I last had to have one. Its not so bad its just getting used to the sensation that somethings in my throat, and just have to be extra careful.

Finally some good news, I have my feed going and after my stomach felt weird for the first hour I seem to be tolerating it and it has settled. So hopefully things are looking up.

Hopefully you’ll have a decent night’s sleep, @rubin16
The good news is that with the feeding tube, your body will finally get some proper nutrients and start to re-energise.
wishing you a speedy recovery.3 -

Thanks for updating us @rubin16. I am glad you're tolerating the NG feed and I'm keeping everything crossed that continues until you can trial food again. Thinking of you and take good care.

I'm at that point in the morning where you get woken up every like 20-30mins now, so might as well be awake and nap later. I get woken at 5:30 for pain meds and other IV meds I need, then at 7:15 they wake you again for breakfast and I just order my cup of tea, 7:45-8 they hand out breakfast (just tea for me as cant eat), 8:30am Cleaners normally come clean room and I normally have to have my bloods done daily, 9am- they kick you out of bed to change sheets and have a shower, 9:30-45- ward round, doctors and consultants come round, 10am- my care co-ordinator is coming, 11:30am - my nan should be here for a few hours, 12-12:30 Dietician is here.
Who thought hospital was for resting haha

Hoping and praying for healthier days ahead @rubin16
