Guest guest Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Hi, I need some information on TPN. I need to know how long you on it and how many hours a day are you receiving the TPN. Also what can you do when you on it. And can you drink anything while on it. I want to ask my doctor about it, but I need more info about it first. I just got out of the hospital last Wednesday, after being in there for 6 days with a bad flare up of pancreatitis. I could eat anything of drink anything until Wednesday when I finally got to come home. It was a short lived relief from the horrible pain I was having and now it's back so soon. Then on Saturday I must have overeaten and I in allot of pain all the time now and my pain meds, aren't helping much either. I trying to stay on clear liquids to get things to settle down today, but so far no luck. My husband is worried, because I have lost 17 lbs since mid March, since I haven't been able to eat very much without getting allot of pain from the food, so I thought I might mention TPN to my PCP, when I have to go back next week for a check up, if things don't settle down by then. But first I needed more info than I already have on it. Thanks for your help. I hope this finds you all having a good day.
