Hello @marciakeren

I can empathize with you about fearing food. I have had three surgeries of the upper digestive tract and the first two surgeries involved a 6-day hospital stay for each surgery. During that time, I was dependent on an IV for hydration, I had an NG tube so I had nothing by mouth for 4 -to 5 days.

I also found it difficult getting back to eating because it was hard to know which foods would cause other digestive tract symptoms. What was helpful for me was getting a referral to a registered dietician at the hospital. Dieticians can be very helpful and supportive in working out a food plan to help in these types of situations.

Have you seen a dietician yet?
