Hello,
Your condition is completely normal.
After the operation, the gastrointestinal tract needs some days to restore the movement.
I suggest you eat a fiber-rich diet and drink a lot of liquids.
The intestinal movement will recuperate in time gradually.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
