Hi and welcome,

I had the endo in my bowel removed in July this year along with some of the bowel. The surgery was on a monday, after the op, I began a liquid diet on the wednesday night and after a small bowel movement the next morning, was allowed a 'light' diet from the thursday afternoon. I had trouble being mobile until they removed the drip on the thursday morning and once I started moving around and continued to use my bowel was allowed home the Thursday afternoon. I continued the light diet for about 4 days but the bowel movements slowed right up and I became a bit concerned but it just took a while for everything to move thru, I have read about some of the other ladies experiences and they had the complete oposite -having to run to the loo regulary. I continued slowly walking around the house for about two weeks and by the end of the third week felt pretty much back to normal.
Best of Luck with the op! We are happy to help with any other concerns you may have,

Janine
