Suggest Treatment For Colon Rupture And Constipation

I recently had my colon to rupture on me& found out a diverticuli caused it. I was in the hospital for days & I've been home, but I feel so weak & Everytime I eat something after a while my tummy feels empty. I don't know what to do. I'm gonna have surgery on my colon in 3 to 6 months. They have given me antibiotics to kill the infection & my colon was inflamed to they said. I've been put on a low residue diet. It's just like I can't get a full feeling in my stomach for nothing. I haven't felt sick to my tummy either so I guess that's good. I've had years of constipation they said that's also what caused it.
