Hello @kim1965,

I appreciate the update on your wife's post-surgery recovery. It is good to know that she is seeing improvement. You are so right to advise @milagro45pr to eat small meals and/or "grazing" as you said after surgery. It takes a while for the digestive tract to heal and normalize itself after extensive surgery.

Were there any types of foods (or liquids) that were especially helpful when your wife began to eat?

The cancer care team dietician had her stay on a fat free diet, but heavy emphasis on grazing was definitely the best advice.
