My prayers are with all of you being affected by this horrible disease. My grandfather had 80% of his stomach removed. He was able to eat well considering a smaller stomach but his esophagus closed up about a month after being released. Supposedly this is a common thing and can be relieved through a series of outpatient 'balloon' procedures. He is eating well again he seems to like tea biscuits as they are easily dissolved. Also he loves donuts and soft cakes and pound cake. He says these are the easiest. Soups like chicken noodle soup, cream of chicken and mushroom are also a biggie. Try to avoid gulping liquids as they cause sudden dumping syndrome which is exaclty what it sounds like. Very small sips of water with a meal is fine. Hope this has helped somewhat, hope things get better.
