Congratulations on coming home after your surgery. I wish you the best in your recovery. I'm not sure what your diet is yet (smoothies or soft foods), but there are a couple of dietary things you can do to help. Please continue to take your meds and hydrate as instructed, but some foods may help. I have IBS (with alternating constipation & diarrhea). Foods with lots of soluable fiber (dissolves easily in water) help with both constipation & diarrhea. I had good luck with canned pumpkin and there is lots of that around this time of year, so if it works for you, stock up. You can add butter or olive oil with salt/pepper and I love it. The more fat you add to it, the thinner an smoother it gets and keeps your calorie count up. Oatmeal and avocados worked well for me, too. If the oatmeal texture is too thick or course for you at this point, you can chop it up more with a coffee grinder before you cook it or you could use infant oatmeal. Also, you may want to add Benefiber to your smoothies or soft foods. I use something called acacia fiber, which I call my "magic powder". When you have constipation, you do sometimes have to get things moving by mechanical means, but if you have to do it all of the time, you may "train" your sphincter muscles/evacuation process to rely on that stimulous to go. Good luck! Things will all come out in the end (haha!)...couldn't resist!
