How do you eat w an NG tube?

[WhateversCheapest]

Got an NG tube (horrible) and need to eat. I cannot. The NG tube i got is large (french size 14-16) and completely blocking my mouth. I would like to eat and just use it where needed but i can't.

Any advice. The NG is only used for feeding, nothing else

Why do you have the NG tube? Were provisions not made for your feeding by your doctor? Are you allowed to eat solid foods? Sorry, I know what an NG tube is. Had a couple done myself, but I don't understand the nature of your question.

Have a lot to drink. Eat liquid foods like applesauce and smoothies. Hopefully it will come out soon. Also brush your teeth twice a day.
