Is it normal to have bowel changes after colon surgery?

It's completely understandable to have concerns about bowel changes following sigmoid colon surgery, and what you're experiencing is quite common during the recovery period. Your digestive system needs time to adjust after surgery, and fluctuations between increased frequency and constipation are often part of the healing process. Be sure to discuss these symptoms with your healthcare team, as they can provide personalized guidance and reassurance about your specific recovery timeline.

I had my sigmoid removed in September and am now getting chemotherapy. Like you, my bowels are not predictable. I am eating only low fiber food, and am never sure how my digestion will be if I try anything new. So you're not alone in this journey. But I have great hope for a healthy future. Be sure your doctor is aware of your symptoms so he can help you.

But why do they recommend low fibre.. my doctor said to have adequate fibre.. may be thats why i am having more bowel movement

My diet is the one thing I am most confused about. I get very little info from my doctor.
