Resection

[Guest guest]

Obviously everyone is different yaddy yadda yadda.

But what have been the medication protocols after a resection?

Do you need to take prednisone? If so is it a long stint?

Are surgeons usually accommodating to dietary needs and SCD if that is

all you have chosen to eat? How do you do this in a hospital setting?

Has anyone ever encountered problems with taking compounded meds once

you're off the IV while in the hospital?

I ask this because after my bowel obstruction and no food for 4 weeks

at the hospital when they did give me food it started as clear food

and graduated to cereal, toast, milk, juice in the morning then a

turkey sandwich with chips and a popsicle for a snack and spaghetti

and meatballs with ice cream. They would not let me leave and go home

until I ate all of this and kept it down. My dear brother and husband

were there to conspire to eat/get rid of the food for me so I could go

home and eat easy food (this is pre-SCD) of course. This was a beyond

stressful situation for me. All those weeks of healing just to be

force fed garbage that got me in there in the first place!
