Can anyone help me. I had a total colectomy about 3 years ago. Since then I have gained 40 pounds. I find that I am hungry more since the surgery. I don't eat alot. I try to watch my calories and fats and walk on a treadmill 3-4 days a week. I used to drink alot of soda but have almost completely cut them out of my diet. What else can I do to lose this weight. It is so discouraging.
My colectomy was due to chronic constipation. I have had no complications from the surgery except this.
Any help would be appreciated.

I just had a colectomy 2 months ago, and have also found myself much more hungry than I was before the surgery. While I haven't gained weight at this time, I am worried about it as I lost around 90 lbs a couple years ago, and don't want to gain it back.

I had a total colectomy in 1999. Since then I have gained 48 pounds. I really wish I knew why this is such a problem or what I can do to fix the issue. Is it just a nutritional deficiency that causes you to be hungry all the time?
