Hi all. I'm new to the group. I have stage 4 Adenocarcinoma of stomach and esophagus. I went through 3 months of Chemo and an Esophageal-gastrectomy in January 2024. I'm losing weight and muscle mass. I get very generic advice from my care team. Eat frequent small meals. High calorie, high fat (good fat), don't mix food and drink, etc. I really need advice from someone who has lived through this process. someone who gets it. I like eating, but hate the feeling after I am done. Even small meals. I get hot, then weak, then diarrhea for 1/2 day to 2 days. I have to rest for 1-2 hours after I eat. It's like food sucks the energy right out of me. I call these "episodes". They don't happen every time, but today, it was 3 times after each attempted meal. I had a 20 gram protein bar for breakfast. episode. Felt like eating again at noon. I had some chicken and some mac and cheese. (small portion). episode. for dinner at 5, I had 1/2 of a side salad because my wife wanted to go out to eat. On the way home, episode. So frustrating. I'm down 30 pounds and have lost a lot of muscle mass. I'm 61 years old and feel like I'm 80 at times. I would love to know if my episodes sound familiar to anyone and how you avoid them. Thanks in advance. Steve R.
