Hello @ssmolkin1968 and welcome to Mayo Connect. As you can see, your post has been moved to a current discussion on the topic of colon resection. This way you can meet (and read the other posts) of members who have also had resections.
In this discussion group you will meet members like @blueviolet @verol65 and @pb50. I would encourage you to read the posts in this group and ask questions or express your concerns.

Often a consultation with a registered dietician can be quite helpful. If your doctor has not suggested this type of referral, you would be wise to ask for one.
Generally, after intestinal tract surgery small, frequent meals that are low in fat are recommended. Has your doctor offered any suggestions as to an eating plan which might help you? Are there any foods that are triggers for some of the problems you mentioned?

Thank you for your reply. It’s very helpful to have feedback. I’ve been on a strict diet since my colon surgery. I don’t drink coffee or alcohol and I stay away from sodas. No red meat, processed foods, anything spicy or fried and no lettuce. I’m careful because it’s not worth feeling so awful. I’ve been taking nausea meds before every meal for almost 5 months, sometimes it helps sometimes it doesn’t. I can’t quite pinpoint why because I’m so careful with everything I put in my body. I did see a nutritionist at end of 2022 but maybe it’s time I revisit that, it certainly can’t hurt.
