Hello, I am very new to the site and have recently (very recently) had a colostomy reversal/hartmann's procedure and hernia repair. I just wondered if others have gone through this and how they feel generally? I feel incredibly tired, which I know is probably normal after major surgery, and finding diet challenging as I have been advised to now be on low fiber for a while, but I just wondered how other people may be doing xx
