Yes, Lucy. I had the ileus thing twice while in the hospital post surgery. Had to have an NG tube twice which was extreme torture. I was in the hospital 11 days before I finally could tolerate soft food and could be released. I was wondering how you were doing post surgery. Hang in there. It will get better. Let me know how you are doing.

Hi Suziq52... the nurse mentioned a tube but I didn't realize an NG tube was even on the radar. Sorry you had to go through that. Not pleasant, I'm sure. I got through it with meds and 7 days in hospital. Came home on soft diet. Eating egg custards, yogurt. Some fish. My bowel habit are all over the place, not a pleasant Christmas. Does the plumbing really start to work normally? If so, how long did it take you to get to the point of not thinking about it? Thank you so much for sharing. It really helps.
