Hello @gordond and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It sounds as if you are concerned about your weight. Perhaps, if you share a little more, I can find others who can post with you. For example, after your surgery, did you lose a lot of weight? Did you have problems with appetite, or did foods not agree with you post-surgery?

In the meantime, there is one conversation on Connect which you might find helpful. Here is the link:
--How Do I Eat After Digestive Tract Surgery
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/how-do-i-eat-after-digestive-tract-surgery/
In this discussion group, you will meet with others who have had a pacreatectomy, a Whipple procedure, or colon surgery. I think you will find encouragement and helpful suggestions as you read these posts and post your own questions.

Will you continue to post and let me know how you are doing?
