Whipple procedure and follow up chemo

Hi Susan,
Creon takes a long time to figure out! I also take one at night before bed and it seems to help, but everyone is different. I recently started eating plant based cheeses so no dairy in them. Try a few of them to see if you like them. Try sweet potatoes and other potatoes as well. I roast garlic and will mash it with the potatoes - it’s good! I have an instant pot and also make a vegetarian chili with beans, mushrooms, sweet potatoes and quinoa. Try making quinoa and lentils on their own or with cooked vegetables. If you can handle avocado try a quarter of one at a time. Remember if something doesn’t sound or look good don’t eat it! Oh, and if can handle nuts - walnuts, cashews and hazelnuts are all good too!

Thanks for these reminders. (Your post made me hungry). Most people don't appreciate how much protein we can get from veggies and legumes. Nutrition information I have sought out has been disappointing as it does not take into consideration the digestive issues associated with pancreatic cancer. That includes the oncology specialized nutritionist I visited with early in the game. So much nutrition info widely available is also 100% contradictory...frustrating.
