Is it possible that GG's diet will ever change or do you believe she will be on a postgastrectomy diet for the rest of her life? Explain your answer
In time, GG should be able to return to a fairly normal diet, eating larger meals, and taking more fluids with her meals. However, this may not occur. She may have to remain on a similar diet for the rest of her life. I do not know what the difference is but I have seen both situations.
