Yes, eating small, frequent meals is vital after digestive tract surgery! I really like the phrases, "eat like it’s your job" and "food is your medicine, take it like medicine." This is so true!

Prior to surgery, eating and appetite came naturally. After the surgeries, however, I had to remind myself to eat. A whole different way of thinking about a fundamental activity that we take for granted.

@hopeful33250 Yes, definitely! I was really a foodie before, and I always enjoyed cooking. But I am thankful to be where I am, and I can adjust. Things could be worse, lol. Got through the Whipple, and 12 rounds of Folfirinox in 2025. I am ready for 2026 - birth of my first grandchild in about 4 weeks; and my first published book to come out in 2027. Have a lot to look forward to!
