If you had Whipple surgery, what are you eating or not eating?

To continue… my diet is essentially the same as yours except I don’t eat meat. I can’t stop at 7pm as I’m just through with my 2nd snack, so my last meal will be around 9pm and maybe a snack at 11:30pm. I was told not to drink 30 minutes before and after eating. I do walk a half mile with one pound weights every day and I ride my stationery bike for 30 minutes every day. I also do exercises my PT gave me almost every day. I just hired a personal trainer to build my muscles which are gone. I’m completely self sufficient except my digestive system is not fully operational. I think I am doing everything possible. I guess it takes time for the body to adjust to the trauma it has been through. I know I’m impatient as my expectations were unrealistic. I use the Portal a lot and write whenever I have a question. The best thing, though, my hair came back curly and wavy, which I immediately dyed a light auburn. I had long blonde hair, way past my bra. Your answer meant a lot to me as I’m really struggling with the weight issue. Thank you, again.

I finally feel that my gut is not ruling my life since I got up to 72,000 Creon per meal. I have also gained a little weight. My gut symptoms were keeping me from going out in public very much. I have surgery scheduled June 21, 2023. Hope my gut will continue to do well. It's been a struggle.
Thank you for your hug. It's the litlle things that count and are apreciated. Thsi recovery is a lonely jouney.

I never used to eat meat or fats or sugar ugh. Everything has changed. I’ve been working on doing weights more. I need to do more weights! Maybe I need a personal trainer great idea. I just jogged 2 miles yesterday walking .4 so 2.4 altogether. I surprised myself thinking I would make it probably 100 yds lol. I think since I weigh nothing it must be easier on the muscles I do have left IDK. But I did probably do too much because my knee was hurting. We can inspire each other. I never lost any hair really was very lucky there. It got thinner. I had really thick hair just past my shoulders so was lucky there. But muscles just disappeared! We can work on it together! 🙂 going to go lift some weights now 🙂
