Diet Post Whipple

It's now nearly 6 weeks since my whipple procedure and I only weigh 7 stone (48 kilos). I'm on Creon but can anyone help with fattening foods and what to eat? I can't eat any kind of meat as it seems not to agree so I'm now keeping to a light diet mosty fish and eggs etc. Also I'm diabetic! - any help would be appreciated.........thank you Linda

Hi there,

Have you had a look at our diet pages on the website? They can be found at http://www.pancreaticcancer.org.uk/information-and-support/living-with-pancreatic-cancer/diet

There is some good information here about managing your diet.

If not, email us at the support line and we will see what further help we can offer.

Thanks Jeni - I seem to be getting cramps and wind during the night and not sure if that's the op or to do with what I'm eating! LInda

Hi there,

Sounds like you might need a higher dose of creon?

Why not email me at the support email address, and let me know the doses you are on, and we can have a chat and see how we can help?

I would think you are not on enough as people are rarely on the right amount post-op.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Jeni.
