Advice for post bowel surgery

To start off, I have a call into the surgeon, but have not heard back yet.

I seemed to be on the mend since my surgery last week to do some adhesion repair and untangle omentum that wrapped itself around my colon.

Since then I have had one tiny BM. I am eating toast and crackers mostly, which is less than what I ate at the hospital. Two nights ago I started feeling nauseous and extremely tired. Since then I've been sleeping, eating toast, soup and crackers, and trying not to be sick. I feel pregnant lol....but much more tired (I could actually function pregnant).

Anyhow, it will be a week Thursday since my surgery, bowel is not back to normal and neither am I. Anyone else out there who has gone through this?

No, haven't gone through this but am just writing to say you have a great attitude and I admire your courage. I hope you feel better soon.

Oh my gosh Kelly, I have been off line for a bit and did not know you had surgery. I hope everything is okay. I would check with you surgeons office to make sure that one BM is normal!!

Hope you feel better soon.  If things don't  improve call the doctor. You will be in my thoughts and prayers

Oh my Kelly, I hope you get feeling better soon! I have had no experience with this, but I would suggest you call your doctor just make sure everything is as it's suppose to be. 

Wishing you all the best, keep us posted!!

Do you have a fever? If so go to emerg. If not could the cracker and toast be too many carbs for you to handle?

I am having way too many carbs for my liking for sure, but I can't seem to get much else in. I get in about one protein shake a day, by sipping all day long. No fever, just nausea and tiredness. I called the surgeon yesterday and left a message, and proceeded to call the rest of the day. I might go to my own doctor, but to be honest I have no idea if she'll be able to hel*****t.

Oh Kelly, I am so sorry to hear this news! I don't have an answer and can't offer any advise but I do hope you feel better.

Hi Kelly

I have no advice.....just wanted to wish you well.....if it were me - I would call my surgeons office.....

Thanks Barb. I called and left a message yesterday, and proceeded to call all day long, machine only. It doesn't seem like an emergency, just doesn't feel "right"
