Six Weeks post esophagectomy

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

Returned to work part time this week 6 weeks post-op from esophagectomy. Been

only going into the office for about 4 hours each day and then heading back home

at noon. Really wish I could have taken some more time off before going back

even part time but financially I had no choice. I guess it is good to get out of

the house but man I am tired when I get home. Still having a lot of tightness in

the incision sites but I think getting up and going to work has helped with

making me move more than I would just being at home. Doing pretty well on the

eating front as well but am having trouble putting any weight back on yet. I

know it has only been six weeks but I got down to 146lbs and really am impatient

to get some weight back on. I am sure that will come in more time. I have eaten

a few things I wish I wouldn't have but am starting to slowly figure out the

foods that cause me digestion problems.

Anyway, I did have a question for everyone about helping to maintain a healthly

digestive system. I want to start to take a daily probiotic to see if it will

help with my digestive system overall. Does anyone have any recommendations for

a good one. I have tried to research on the internet but there are so many on

the market. Also are they really effective in helping maintain a health

digestive system or is it a waste of money to take daily.

Thanks,

Jeff S.
