No salads or raw vegetables
Cooked vegetables are fine, but I avoid skins even when cooked
Soft fruits are good, like bananas and ripe mangos
Fruits with seeds or skins don't treat me well.
Beans are almost always a no
Fried foods aren't the best, but aren't as painful for me as other things
I do perfectly fine with meat, as long as it's not super fatty
I try to avoid dairy, but cheese seems to be fine
Spicy foods have never bothered me.
Keep in mind that I don't always follow my rules, sometimes I just want french fries or a giant bean burrito, but it's good to know how different food affects you. In the end, we've all had this surgery to enhance our lives, not limit them. Take care of your body, but if you feel like you just can't give up fried chicken, learn to live with the consequences and that's just fine.
Hope this helps!

I am so sorry that so many of the people that have replied to this site has had negative or seemingly unsuccessful results. I had a total colectomy May 12th of this year and after just 3 months of recovery I can eat virtually anything I want. I learned early on that many small meals and/or snacks during the day is the secret for me. Drinking LOTS of water plus other non-water retention fluids is paramount to overall good health. I have no fixture for evacuating my stools and I do have formed stools that are easily passed. In fact some days I need to add a stool softener to keep things moving. Good luck to all in your endeavor to improve your health and therefore, happiness.

I really think you need to get medical advice about the pain in your left side.

Also, was your surgery with removal of large intestine and small intestine connected directly to the rectum?
