Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Eat in multiple small meals. As the stomach is removed, no storing capacity.
2. Due to reduced intake, you are loosing weight.
3. Take more fluid food than solid food. You will get adjusted slowly. Try to take high calorie and nutritious diet.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
