Weight Loss after Whipple: What strategies helped you?

Hi gchezick!
So glad you reached out to our Whipple community for answers. I too experienced 30+ pounds of weight loss post surgery. Your body has gone through a tremendous traumatic surgery and it will take time to heal and eat enough to maintain a steady weight. I remember thinking that everything, including water tasted awful! You have to do what works for you. Small amounts of food is the key. Even if it doesn’t taste good try and make yours eat a few bites! Protein is important and any protein shake can help. Again, drinking one protein drink throughout the day will give you 30 grams!
Add foods like mashed potatoes, yogurt, scrambled eggs are also easy to digest! I know you are thinking this is never going to get better but it does! Be patient with your body and healing will come! Also, there is a product called Enterade, in the orange flavor, is a product Oncologist recommended for patients struggling with eating. I hope this provided a little encouragement. Please feel free to reach out!
