My mom had that same surgery and it went wrong my mom is really really sick she had a leak in her intestine and now she has fluid and her stool inside her stomach and a lot of bacteria and infection in her blood stream and the Dr. has giving up on her

I had the same surgery 4 yrs. ago and I eat everything I want but I eat a healthy, balanced diet which includes fibre, fruit, probiotic yogurt, berries, vegetables. You're not that hungry after surgery anyway so it takes time to eat full meals.

Eat a balanced diet, nothing needs to be totally excluded. Some foods may pass too quickly through the colon now that part is missing - varies from person to person. For my husband after this surgery, too much green vegetables or salad makes things go fast. The research on continued good health suggests - reaching / maintaining a healthy weight - taking exercise 3-4 times per week, enough to elevate the heart rate for 30 minutes - restricting intake of processed meats (bacon, ham, sausages, burgers etc) - there is some chemical (phosphate?) that is used in the processing and is connected to incidence & recurrence of colon cancer

From my colon resection experience, I asked the doctors about diet afterwards after the initial recovery period and I was told I could eat whatever I wanted. Personally, 5 months after my surgery I decided to quit eating red meat and all muscle meats (for instance poultry). That was in Feb. '09. I have been on this regime now since then and feel pretty good and I don't get digestive upsets.
