Well, today I decided to ingest through the PEG tube a whole bottle of protein drink at a time instead of only half - every three hours. I make sure to do a slow flow and stop and start so as not to cause back up. I am not comfortable afterwards and feel too full but it's better than having to feed a lesser amount every hour.
So today I ingested 1030 calories, 95 grams of protein, and 18 ounces of water. That's all I'll be able to do. Hopefully I'll be able to start eating soon and that will increase the calories.
I'm still sipping water during the day and have not choked in a good while. I'm happy about that.
