Gtube was best decision!

I had my gtube placed last monday. I was 104 lbs. I have been doing 3 cans of 2cal formula (1500 cals) a night. When I stepped on the scale I was 110.4lbs OMG! How exciting it that. I'm sure some of it is water weight from the fluids they have me on BUT some of it has to be real weight gain, right?

Im also surprised to find that I am actually hungry within an hour or 2 of waking up. I am eating great all through the day an on into the time I start my feeds.

Im soo glad I did this. I'll be a good 125 before I know it!

WOO HOOO! Great news.

For us, it was a lifesaving decision.

I think so many try to avoid it because first, it sounds scary. Second, it seems to represent failure to control their own weight/ health. We think of it as another way to keep the boys as strong and healthy as we can. We recommend it to everyone.
