My husband had all of his stomach removed in November, 2004 due to stomach cancer. We are struggling with knowing how much and how to eat. He is still losing weight, but he just finished radiation treatments at the end of February, 2005. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any and all suggestions are welcome.

We are going through this same thing.  My son (age 36) had his stomach removed in Oct. 2006.  Did you ever find anything that would work?   This is such a tough disease.  Hope all is Ok with your husband now.

Hubby is doing very well these days.  His weight leveled off after he lost  about 70 pounds.  He has even gained a few pounds!  He has learned what to eat and what he can't.  He eats a lot of pastas.  The only thing he really has touble with is sugar...he will still eat cakes, cookies, candy even though he shouldn't...he just stays close to home when he does. He still sometimes over eats, but not nearly as often as before.  He turned 62 October and he ate the most of his birthday cake all by his self.  He really enjoys pastas and rice dishes though.  Is your son able to eat that?  He also likes creamy peanut butter w/apple slices.  How is your son doing?  Just let him know that with time he will be able to eat more and more.  This is something we were told, although we did not beleive it at that time, it poroved to be so very true.  Keep me posted!
