Changes in feeding tube.

So my friend suggested that now that I’m more active, I probably need the full 1500 calories in the Osmolite bottle.  Usually I’d been getting between 1100-1300, because I was so sedentary I really didn’t seem to need more than that.  But now I’ve been getting hungry more often, and we’re not sure if it’s that, or the steroids, or both.  I’ve turned up the speed on the feeding pump by a bit, and I’m trying to get the full 1500.  We’ll see how that goes.  The main danger is that the feeding pump will be too fast for my body.  Because it’s done that before, and given me horrible intestinal symptoms.  But this isn’t as fast as it was when it did that, so I think it’s going to be okay.  We’ll also see how I feel after eating the full bottle for a few days.
