How do I eat after digestive tract surgery?

Hello - has anyone here had adhesions/scarring on sigmoid colon due to endometriosis? I met with GYN who believes I will need a bowel resection as the area is narrow and rigid. Colonoscopies can be performed but the last one was difficult. My main issue is ridiculous constipation. I have an MRI coming up and a consultation with a colorectal surgeon - I will need a team of surgeons, apparently. I'm terrified of the healing, eating and living "normally" process post-surgery. I'm 65 - my endo was diagnosed and treated with laparoscopies and Lupron 30 years ago. Anyone with info - I'd appreciate it! Thanks!!!

Hello @mrskra and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You are asking a good question about eating after sigmoid surgery. There are posts in the Digestive Health support group from members who have had sigmoid surgery. Many of them had this type of surgery for diverticulitis; however, the results regarding eating post-surgery will probably be the same. I would like to invite @linda82 to this discussion as she has had sigmoid surgery and will undoubtedly have information to share with you about the eating plan she developed post-surgery.
You mentioned that you will need a team of surgeons. Could you share a little about why this has been recommended?
