So Mom had her reversal surgery on Tuesday, July 3rd. We got to go home yesterday with very little instruction or guidance on what to expect. Now that we're home, I'm a nervous wreck. She had a "kinda" bowel movement in the hospital (or maybe it was the norm for now), but since we've been home, nothing. Any tips or ideas would be helpful. Also, food options would be appreciated. They gave her pork chops and cabbage on the first day she could have solid foods, and I just don't think that was the best choice. Any information you have would be great! Thank you!!

After all my surgeries, it was always best to eat soft foods. For me, I eat grilled cheese sandwiches, chicken noodle soup, mashed potatoes, yogurt - anything easy to digest while I heal. Then, when things start improving, change to things that will thicken the poop.
