Recovering From Stomach Removal Surgery. Difficulty In Consuming Food, Constant Nausea. Taking Gevity. Diet To Follow?
I had a total removal of my stomach t Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston. I am now home recuperating from the surgey and attempting to go on with my life. I still have one drain in which is producing about 10cc's a day and I have a J-tube in for tube feeding and meds as required. I am on anti-biotics also.
I am having adifficult time consuming foods as my nausea is constant. I have been taking in 1000-1200 calories per day but it is a struggle. I just recently went back to 2 can of Gevity per night to get added calories and protein. I am looking for suggestions on what food to attempt while I relearn how to eat?
Thanks
Brian
