Bowel obstructions caused by adhesions following abdominal surgery

Everybody, who uses low residue diet and who doesn't? Anybody think excercise helps? I have obstructed while on strict low residue as well as on regular diet. The GI surgeons here say fiber intake is irrelevant. I'm not sure I agree, and everyone else says to err on the side of caution. After my 4th one I started adding a few well cooked veggies to my diet and found myself back in hospital 4 weeks later. Thanks to everyone.
