@bluebell, So sorry to hear you’re having struggles with your diet post surgery, but I certainly understand. When I had my small intestine resected in March 2018, I had few problems. But then in July 2019 when I lost 11” of my large intestine/colon, I had a lot of problems. My weight dropped to 104, and even though I’m only 5’ tall, that was way too much. And I couldn’t keep anything in me. So I did some research and came up with a diet on the Cleveland Clinic website that helped me so much, I shared it with my oncology team. I also started walking nightly around my patio and sidewalk to build up my strength.
Here’s a website you might check out: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/15637-gastrointestinal-soft-diet-overview
I hope you will find something soon to help you start feeling better. Now I pretty well eat what I want but still avoid spicy, creamy, or high fiber foods. But I do keep plenty of Imodium on hand if I need it. This disease can be fairly manageable, it’s just a matter of figuring out what that means for you.
My best to you.
