@castell What does the creon do to help with not able to eat much. I am concerned with not getting enough nutrition when it is so hard to eat.

I’ve been on Creon for ten years. After my whipple I was prescribed to take three capsules of 24,000 lipase units per meal (doctor basing this on my weight). Most of the time I took only one capsule per meal and I was generally OK.
Now I take more creon and I also take psyllium. This works for me.
For me I could barely eat anything right after the surgery. But I started eating small amounts of anything that appealed to me. Over time this expanded. For me, high fat items were problematic. But this still leaves a lot of choices.
Time is a great healer. Your situation will improve.
A tip from a professor— take Creon with the second bite, not the first.
