Difficult to say

Hi there-

It is very difficult to say what your chances of success are, because to some extent they will depend on variables which cannot be perfectly understood (such as how your breast tissue reacted to the surgery).

It is clear that your chances of producing the same amount of breast milk as you did before surgery are reduced, however if you are approaching breast feeding as an important means of transferring your immunity to your baby, every little bit counts, even if you have to supplement with formula.

So- give it a shot. Even if the baby is still hungry after your supply is exhausted, you will still have achieved your goal.
