I had a high anterior bowel resection with hand assisted laparoscopy on March 7 Almost 3 weeks ago.
Is it “normal” to have my bowel habits “all over the place”…sometimes every second day, sometimes softly formed, other times bitty, or loose. Sometimes i think i want to go & don't????????????
When should i start eating some fibre??? Currently eating rice bubbles, skim milk, little yogurt, eggs, salmon, rice, well cooked vegies, apples peeled.
My tummy still seems a little full & just sort of tingling….is that the nerves???
