Diverticulitis and now having sigmoid colon resection. Had this?

@ajica I had the same for a while. You think you need to go but, you do not. You feel the pressure but, it is not ready yet. I would get scared and think it was stuck.
It will go away. I would suggest a potty squatty. It will help tremendously. Never "sit there" and never "strain"
Also, even though it is the morning. When you get up drink a full glass of liquid and just walk around. It will help move it!
With surgery everything moves around, and it is like a reposition. I also, did tummy massage.

@linda82 Interested in the "tummy massage" you mention. Did you do a self massage (not usually effective for me), or did you see a therapist for visceral massage. I am interested in massage that might help with adhesions. thanks!

Its difficult not to sit there and not strain...I have been told to "push your stomach forward" and then "push down" ...thats difficult to remember to do too...I've found that eating the right food for easy digestion and drinking more water does help relax everything more. Good luck to us all

Muchas gracias por el comentario! Yo tambien uso el banquito para ir al banio, sin eso me resulta imposible. A la maniana tomo magnesio, agua tibia con limon y camino + hago ejercicios de taichi para el intestino. Luego tomo el desayuno. Consultando en chat gpt me comentaba de hacer fisioterapia del suelo pelvico. Por el momento esperare a ver como evoluciono.
Podria preguntarle cuanto tiempo tardo en recuperarse 100%?
