I had whipple surgery Jan 23, 08 and am still having difficulty gaining wt. I lost 25 lbs rapidly prior to surgery and am still 20 lbs below what I need to be to feel better. Just when I think I'm gaining wt, I have diarrhea and all I've eaten last couple days will be gone. I've noticed that sugar goes right thru me so try to curb my sweets. I love applesauce but it seems to not love me. How should I be feeling after 4 months from surgery? I rest a lot but feel better when I'm up and doing something very physical, like mowing my yard, trimming my hedges, and such but then I feel like it takes my weight off..I would love to hear from anyone who has had this surgery and what's good to help with weight gain. My tumor was in the bile duct at the head of the pancreas. Hope to hear
