A member asked:

I got my feeding tube out after 4 months of only source of nutrition now l only eat 1000 cal a day i'm afraid i'm gana lose wait how can i up intake?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Reconsult UR MD!: I do not know what is your baseline problem and what is your weight. One thing is sure with only 1000 cal a day you can not gain wait and sure you will lose weight. If normal food intake is not possible, either reposition the feeding tube or go an intravenous hyperalimentation. Only your physician can advise you properly!
