How long after sigmoidectomy can one begin eating fiber again?  I understand that certain foods should be avoided, but no information tells me for how long one must abstain.  My Dr. said that I could eat anything I want but to reduce fiber at first.  Okay, I got that.  I am 8 days into this and cooked some veggies and lentals until they were almost mush, then put them in the vitamix.  I will try a small bowl of this however, I am still not certain if this is the right thing to do.  I want better nutrition than white bread and meat, potatoes and pasta.  Anyone know?
