@doglover888, would you say that your appetite has been significantly less ever since your operation? Or do you have a good appetite but not the ability to digest enough food during the course of a day?
Or do you eat plenty to maintain or gain weight, yet you lose weight nonetheless?
Whichever might be the case, I know it’s been hard. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Hi there. It's been 2 years now. My appetite is better, although I never have the hunger growls anymore. Weird. I just have to assume I'm hungry. I'm afraid to eat something different because it could upset my stomach and will cause me to aspirate that night and my episodes are getting fewer. So I'm caught between a rock and hard place. I still can't gain any weight but hoping soon that will change. Down to 85 lbs now. Onwards and upwards!
