My Journey- rough start- happy ending

my pancreatitis came out of nowhere in 2017. OK, maybe being in the middle of a contentious divorce had something to do with it. But I am not an alcoholic and never was. It nearly killed me. I was in the hospital for two months with three gigantic pseudo cysts. My girlfriend got me out of my HMO and into the best doctor in the world. My recovery took two years but now I’m healthy active and have not had inflammation or an attack in three years. That in itself is a miracle I was taking creon, and somehow , my body has told me I don’t need it anymore and my doctor said to go ahead and stop taking it. So, I have unused bottles available. For anyone in need, please contact me. I don’t know how or why it happened but my pancreatic duct that was dilated has shrunk and somehow gotten better. Miracles do happen, something I never believed in before. I am eating pretty much what I want except the onset of diabetes due to losing about 80% of my pancreas, restricts my diet more than anything else. The goal now is to put on 20 pounds that I lostand let me tell you it is not easy. Would appreciate any guidance and ideas from anyone with a similar situation.

I have been using a vegan mass gainer by Naked Nutrition that has helped me put on weight. They also make a non vegan version, but I haven't tried it so I can't vouch for it.
