Happy Labor Day Weekend! Hope everyone is well. My Dad is home now and he is having his nightly tube feedings (8 to 8).
I know that he is supposed to eat 6-8 small meals per day after surgery. Is this as of NOW or after the tube feedings have stopped?
I know the types of food he should eat but am wondering about the amount with the nightly feedings?

Thanks in advance for all your answers
