I had Whipple in Mar. of 2019. It seemed like I fought with build up of food, etc. in my stomach for quite a while. I made the bad mistake of eating too much too soon. It was quite a tussle for a bit. You will have bear with it, and pretty much all of a sudden the problem goes away. Easy for me to say, huh? I am now almost 3 years out and feel great. I have gained back 30 of the 54 lbs. I lost. Life will gt better, and without Whipple, life for me would have been over at this time. Touch base with me on this site in a month or so. I am pulling and praying for you.

@dakotarunner thanks so much for your response. I need a little encouragement. I was released from the hospital yesterday and it seems everything I try to put in comes right back up. Good to know there is an end point to this, whenever that will be for me. It's really hard to know what to expect with this when everyone responds so differently in recovery.
