Still feel tired after colostomy

 LinSA Hi Lin. I was told after my resection that I should be starting to feel a better by the 5 week mark. Is your colostomy output very high? I’m wondering if things are going through you too quickly so you’re not getting all the nutrients from your diet? Perhaps you could ask your doctor to run a full blood count just to check things out - I was very low in potassium and calcium at one point which was picked up by a blood test

Hope the chemo goes well

Take care

Hi Lin

Karens given great advice 

I found power naps essential.
It took me a long while to recover as I had a major pulling about and my Ileostomy was rapid. 
Just take things easy saving your strength and listening to your body. 
Take care 

I think some days it is very high and also pretty liquid.

Then a day or two can be not so bad.

Maybe an idea to get mybbloods checked

Thank you forvthe advice!!! 

Also had adhesions and op took longer than initially thought.
