PMP Pals' Network Blog: Post Operative Weight Loss & Nutrition
In addition to the challenges of regaining lost weight (43 pounds), I have had two instances of intestinal blockage in the last two months. After the first I was told to eat a low-residue diet (low in insoluble fibers). (e.g. nuts or apple, pear, and potato skins.) But, four weeks later I had a second blockage. Both blockages were resolved without surgery.
Have others had this experience? Do you have any ideas on avoiding blockages? I was told that surgery to remove adhesions often creates new scar tissue, and so often isn't helpful.
