Hi all. I’m going to take a colectomy next week. Yes, finally. I know pretty much about the whole procedure, but I would like to know more about the diet that will follow it. So, I would really appreciate all your experiences and any info on this subject. Thanks a lot.

Yes, you heard right - following a colectomy, you will need a diet high. That diet should be rich in calories, but low in fat. Also, your menu selections should be rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. I’m sure that your doctors will give you precise one that you should follow. Moreover, be sure to drink up to 8 large glasses of liquid, such as water, juices, and milk, every single day. Hope this helps.
