Hi YDI
I had a bowel resection on the 2nd July and after reading your experience I have had a very easy recovery. I had to run to the toilet regulary for the first couple of days while I was on a liquid diet in hospital post op but once I started on normal food the motions stopped for about four days, now almost 4 weeks on I am going about once a day and if anything I feel more towards constipated then anything - though not uncomfortably so.And I am pretty much back to my normal diet.
I saw the surgeon yesterday and he said some people take a few months to get to this stage. Mind you an hour or so after I eat I have extreme wind. It sounds as though your body is having a tough time adjusting and if I were you I'd ring the surgeons office and double check if that level of discomfort is something to worry about.
