Interesting to read your story, @Wulaw Horn. I had 1/3 of my stomach and 2/3 of my esophagus removed in December (for a different reason), and it has been a bumpy ride since. I had a lot of issues swallowing at first. I had 4 different dilating endoscopies to stretch out my esophagus that finally worked, but the nausea after eating is still a crapshoot. I Can have the exact same thing, and one day it'll be fine and the next I feel sick as shit. I di lose 50 lbs, which I could stand to lose, but my relationship with food, like you, is forever changed. Just once I'd like to be able to sit down and have a full meal of my favorite foods. But alas. I also lost the little sphincter between my esophagus and stomach so if I overeat too much, I just puke without much warning, so I have to be careful not to do that. I wish I could pin down what foods give me trouble, but it really doesn't seem to matter. I can eat pizza and most other things, just in much smaller quantities. But I used to slather my food in hot sauce, and that's pretty much a no go any more.
