My husband is getting pretty good about adding a daily high calorie shake aside from eating. I think he lost 30 lbs and may have gained back 15-20, but he's not big to begin with. I'm sure the food is not like what you have at home - never is. I'm getting used to preparing meals that he can eat. I have to admit that I miss throwing steaks on the grill. I try to eat things like that when I'm eating with other people. There are so many things he can still enjoy if you "deconstruct them" by chopping them up and adding extra sauces and dressings.

So, as far as the resection, what long term issues should we know about? You mention using the the scapular, just wondering what your doctor said.
