Sigmoid colon resection: What to expect for recovery?

I had a sigmoid resection 11months ago, I take the same vitamins, it seems eating vegetables or a salad with every meal helps me.
In the morning I make a smoothie with avocado banana varies ...
I even added beans lentils etc in to my diet but bc they were hard to digest, I make a soup and then blend it. Initially I started with small portion till it felt OK to have more.
Also Using a good probiotic is very important!
Hope I helped
Good luck!

Thanks for your information. How long after surgery did you have pain at the resection location? I had surgery on June 2nd and still have pain when I stand up from sitting... sometimes a sharp pain. Actually, it's only been about 6 weeks, so maybe I'm being too anxious about getting back to normal. Like you, smoothies and probiotics are helping. I also take a lot of vitamins. I do have difficulty regulating my bowel movements... not feeling like I really clean out my intestines. Any suggestions for that? Would appreciate any information... and thanks!
