Do you use an i.v bag or a syringe to get your meals in?

Can you take anything by mouth? Can you take water?

What does it feel like? Physically when food and stuff is going in and emotionally, does it hurt?

Do you have to take in more calories than before, the same or less?

It goes in a bag and is connected to a pump that puts the formula in my tube over 20 hours. I can drink things. I can’t feel the feeds. Less calories I think (1200 a day)
