Dear jzember
My operation was on 11-11-2003 so I am coming up on 2 years....Prior to the operation I was 152 lbs. I went down to 117 lbs..I am now at 128 lbs...I can eat full meals without discomfort..I find that I can eat just about anything I want with the exception of milk based products.I find that I have become Lactose intolerant.
My problem is not quantity although if I eat too much I get intestinal distention..I too eat as many carbs as possible and late time snacks...by the way because my body fat was 6% prior to the operation I lost much muscle which I am building back....I guess I have to be patient and wait......just to give you some before and afters,
Chest 40'' / 37'' waist 34" / 31" are just two examples....I wonder what would happen if I stopped taking the enzymes...
Thank you for your comments
Sincerely,
Charles

I had my stomach reduced in size due to cancer last August. At first eating was hard, but as time goes by it got much better. I took enzymes for a brief time but my doctor stopped them when I started to gain some weight. If your surgery was very recent time may be what you need more than anything. I have gained 30 pounds in the last year. Try to find foods high in carbs and fat that you can tolerate. I have found Ramen Noodles to be a good food for me. I have them twice a day. Eat as often as you can. Every couple of hours if you can. I have also found beer to work. Good luck.
