I came home from hospital after having a bowel resection and temp stomy. I had a blockage/obstruction in the first few days afterwards and spent a week none stop vomiting - which was horrendous.
However, I am, and always will be a foodie, so I am really really struggling this xmas, and with the stomy - I hate it. They told me that I might need an stomy depending on the mess I am inside. Anyway, I was just wondering what the best things are to eat? I really miss salad, and have been told things like lettuce can cause blockages. I was also wondering if hummus is ok? Frosties? Chocolate? Olives? Pizza? Chips? I ate a few things like well cooked onions in hospital and that was ok. It's just a mine field and I'm finding it really hard.
My output is like a 'porridge consistancy' like they told me it should be. I know it sounds stupid but I just want to eat fairly 'normally' and if I had thought through this operation carefully I would have had it nowhere near Christmas.
What do you guys normally eat?
