Hi
Sounds like Whipple surgery, I am 73 male and just had it 1/17 and am in rehab now. The surgery went smoothly but the main problem is getting your stomach to function after the major changes to your new digestive tract. I was in hospital for almost a month because the surgery team pushed me too quickly from N/G tube to liquid to solid food. Then I threw up and started with the reinserted N/G tube until my bile buildup in my stomach decreased to start all over again with the liquid diet. Was told to drink as much water as I wanted and ice cream milkshakes more pudding Italian ice. Then I threw up once again only to repeat the N/G procedure again. Was on a TPN nutrition bag for a week and was discharged from the hospital on a liquid diet. So my advice would be to take your time pushing too fast with your stomach in such a fragile state . Good luck!
