@tomrennie

That’s a tremendous help!

Thank you for supplying the link.

@tomrennie , Thank You for this link. I will check it out. The thing is, I didn't have Pancreatic Cancer. I had a tumor on my small intestine so the surgeon did a Whipple Procedure to get all the cancer, and he got it all. Does that make a difference? I don't know.

@tomrennie ,
I read someone's post who said she thought she was having issues because of what she was eating. I found a menu of 6 small meals that sound good and I think I could do this. It's from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. It's call " Diet and Nutrition After Your Whipple Procedure. I wish I would have found this 2 years ago.
