hey guys. I just had step 1 of 2 step jpouch surgery on the 19th. I’m still in the hospital but probably going home tomorrow or next day. I’m very scared to eat. The day after surgery they had me already eating a low fiber diet. It was a burger and fries. Well that was a bad idea because even tho some stool was still going into my bag, my stomach started hurting badly and I felt terrible. The placed an NG tube and sooo much came out. It was in for 24 hours. Then I spent a day back on clear liquids. Now I’m back to low fiber diet. I’m terrified to eat. I’ve had a few bites of spaghettios and some mashed potatoes but that’s it. I scared to have another blockage. My stomach is very distended but I’m not sick feeling. I’m passing stool and some gas but feel as though there’s so much gas still inside. How quickly did u guys eat normal food after surgery? How much could u eat?
thank u!
