Hello Teresa,

Thank you very much for the quick response.

The doctors told me that I didn't have to follow any type of diet, but right after I was discharged from the hospital, that's when I started to notice a greater feeling of fullness and lack of appetite. I have some pain but not too much and i feel very tired. I am 37 years old.

It is true that I am not having significant diarrhea (level 5 in Bristol stool scale) and I have not seen any floating or greasy stools, so you are probably right and it may have more to do with the postoperative period than with the lack of ability of my residual pancreas to generate enzymes. I will discuss it at the check-up with the surgeon to see what he thinks.

Thanks, best regards,
Carlos

Hello @csanjurjo,

It has been a while since you last posted. I was wondering how you are doing. Are your digestive issues better now?

I look forward to hearing from you again.
