Why surgery first vs chemo/radiarion first?

The Whipple surgery is a dramatic surgery. It will take a lot of your strength from you but just press on. The main thing is to nibble and eat as soon as you can after the darn thing is over with and keep on eating, whatever you can after that. I wouldn’t let them tell you what you can eat and what you can’t just eat what taste good what you want and you have to do 10 times a day like a bird if necessary!

My doctor actually said the same thing. I just have to remember to eat one thing in my meal and wait an hour then eat another until it is time to start over with the next meal. I will have to ask about having someone bring up the Boost protein shakes. I will be in surgery ICU for a while and not sure how soon they will want me to eat solid food. Dr. said the same thing about picking at food like a bird. And to do so all day long. To avoid eating a large meal all at once. Not sure what I will do with my Creon enzyme replacement meds. I am taking 2 24k capsules when I start eating 3 times a day. Maybe get some smaller dose capsules and take them every hour or so.
Sound like my doctor and yours trained at the same place. My doctor is Dr. Ali Ahmad in Wichita KS.
