If I were to cut a whole in my navel, would I somehow consume food as I did when I had an umbilical cord?

... the hell?

If I understand your question correctly, you could theoretically have an incision made in your stomach and a g-tube inserted. It's a fairly common medical procedure and many people with upper GI issues or problems chewing eat that way.

But you, personally, cutting a hole in your navel? Not recommended. And no, you would not magically begin to receive sustenance from the aether.
