Hi guys and gals
..... Had a left hemicolectomy on Tuesday morning only a few inches taken out for diverticulitus .... Have been walking and eating since Tuesday night ... Sausage and mash, ice cream, macaroni cheese, eggs etc... They took my catheter out and the staples from the surgical wounds out Wednesday morning .. Wanted me home that day but I said I was more happy with staying another day . Came out Thursday .....It's now Saturday and I haven't had bowel movement yet ... And started to get a bit worried ... The doctors did not really give me any info on what to expect the next few days .. Passed a bit of wind a couple of times today and yesterday ... Is this normal ? ... Been adding up all the food iv eaten the last few days .. And I'm sure it needs to be out of me by now Thanks for your help and patience
