Hi everyone
I’m doing ok, they did a sub total gastrectomy on Wednesday leaving about 20% of my stomach. I have had very small and soft meals, e.g. a thick and creamy yogurt around 110ml pot. Having a drink either 1/2 hour before or after. The only issue I have had is not seeing a dietitian before being allowed to eat anything, it’s a good job that I had researched what I could have otherwise it may well have caused me a big problem. Thanks to those that gave advice on this forum and the book A guide to eating after a gastrectomy. The ward staff do not appear to have any understanding of what you can/ can’t eat/drink or when. I will be raising this as the next person may not have gathered the necessary knowledge or information to support themselves. I have had to repeat myself to all the nursing and housekeeping staff.
Good luck everyone xx
