It has been most heartening for me to read of another person’s experience. So far I have not met anyone or seen any reports or experiences of others.Many aspects have been similar for me even down to eating fresh pears.
I had 80% of my stomach removed because of a carcinoid tumor in very early stage (11mm) in November 2006 (nearly 2 years ago). At first pathology, it was thought to be an adeno carcinoma I don't understand clearly how pathology can get it wrong.
During my period of recovery I kept a food diary. It truly did take a whole year till my stomach felt comfortable again most of the time and I could eat a normal portion at one sitting (ie a sandwich -2 pieces of bread - with filing or 2 weetbix and half a banana with milk).
