How do I eat after digestive tract surgery?

Teresa,
I did ask about both. However, the nurse practitioner stated the nutritionist would be good but the pelvic floor therapist would come later in the process, as they are trying to get me regulated first.
Right now, the former nutritionist I have used [while employed] stated Medicare wouldn't pay for a nutritionist, and I've been doing research on my own and added lots of fiber, and what not to eat.
I am in PA, so I'm also scouting out another GI to see if they have had some experience with post colon surgery as well as Pelvic surgery two days apart with double general anesthesia.
Thank you for your assistance. I appreciate it.

Something that has helped me is a magnesium-powered product called "Calm." You mix it in water and drink it at bedtime. It works pretty well for me. I buy Calm in the vitamin/supplement section of a large grocery store. However, you can also find it at a health food store or buy it online. It is available plain or flavored. Here is a link to the product description. https://www.amazon.com/s
