3 weeks post Robot Assisted Cysto-prostatectomy & Ileal conduit.
Was not prepared for how upset my bowel got due to the surgery. Focus rightly on getting the bowel working again after the surgery, but no mention about having very loose motions.
Currently sticking to pretty much the pre-op low residue foods. Straying too far from those at the moment seems to cause 'intestinal hurry'.
Have used 2mg doses of Immodium on two or three occasions, which helped my fluid uptake and return my pee back to a better colour.
So urine output great, almost too good, it's just my tummy that has not settled. I hope it does settle down soon, because my appetite is still not brilliant, and I'm losng weight still.
I'm type II diabetic, which complicates things too.
How long before your bowel settled down if you underwent this surgery?
