Hello @bb21

I appreciate your input about eating after Whipple surgery. How long ago was your surgery?

Are you able to eat more normally now or do you still have restrictions as to the amount and type of food you can eat?

I had surgery in February and did not have issues for about 2 weeks and then Pow, did it hit hard. It took me another month for it to ease. I eat pretty regular food now but will notice my stomach and gut let me know when I eat too much or something it doesn't like. I keep Galviscon around to use only if needed and eat smaller meals and snacks. I have undergone chemo and a clinical trial since surgery as a single positive node of a rarer genotype, KRAS g12c, has reared its head and I have metastasis to the liver but I am fighting. You do the same. We can change the statistics by doing whatever we can and living longer. Take it one day at a time, Stay positive and do well.
