Suffering From Lactose, Esophagectomy, Lost Weight. Need Diet Plan To Increase It
Hi: I m extreamely lactose and whey intolerant and need to gain weight. In 2005, I had an esophagectomy due to esophagal cancer brought on by neuclear radiation . My weight has since dropped from 167# down to 103#. Along with the lactose problem, I have dificulty swollering, due to the esophagectomy. ( my stomach has been oversewn and attached to my throat) Everything I eat is gravity flow to my stomach. The protein powders are almost impossible to swollow due to their thickness. I need help with gaining weight and just finding foods I can swollow. Please respond as you can to: YYYY@YYYY I thank you in advance for and help you could give me..... Rick

This is one of the common problem seen after Gastric pull up Surgery for Oesophageal Replacement.
Kindly follow the following advise
