Hi Judithbramson. This website is a Godsend. Thank you for your post. I’m having similar issues pertaining to weight gain. Like you, I have a small build. I lost 12 pounds after whipple surgery. I have managed to increase my weight over the past eight months, but sometimes my weight fluctuates by one to three pounds over a two day period. When it’s on the higher end, I’m still about three pounds away from my goal. I take creon before my breakfast meal and dinner meal. I’ve found eating small snacks between those two larger meals is easier on my stomach. I don’t always take creon before snacks. The capsules are so large, I can’t swallow them. I open them up and mix them with apple sauce. Eating sure is different since surgery. Like you, I have a healthy diet, very little processed food (except the occasional hot dog, which my body seems to crave), and no sweets because I’ve never had a sweet tooth. However, with that being said, I did buy a pint of ice cream while food shopping yesterday. I’m hoping a scoop or two at night will help me put on these last few pounds. I have a friend who wrestled in college. He said when he had to gain weight, milkshakes and ice cream were his go tos. I figure it’s worth a try. I belonged to a gym prior to my surgery. My physical therapist said that because I was working out before the surgery, lost muscle mass will eventually return. Good luck! I used to have a stomach like lead. Now, every day is a new learning experience.
