Frequent stomach aches After colectomy

So it’s been 5 wks since total colectomy. Past week been feeling decent at least but it seems I get these frequent stomach aches . I had a partial blockage last week that pain was unreal. Subsided tho. Now I dunno if this is the start of a blockage or what. It feels like my abdomen is super distended and bloated and pressure like when I bend over to reach something. I’m hopping on the treadmill now to light walk. Currently I walk 5-6 x a week at 20-25 min no problem. Seems now every time I eat it’s a stomach ache. I avoid the foods that are Not recommended like veggies, no nuts at all no popcorn and I try to
Chew pretty well too.

I’d tell your surgeon. Could be just the normal healing process but it could also be adhesions which may have caused your blockage too. This can be easily fixed during your next surgery in a month or two.

You had a really big surgery and it takes time to heal.

Ok good info guys, I will call him today , soups are fine for me yep

I was 2 weeks post op but not since

Hurts like pain, not heartburn or gas? If your bag isn’t filling up with gas and you don’t have heartburn then I’d suspect adhesions which they can fix during your next surgery and sometimes they resolve themselves over time.

It could also be nerves healing from the surgery. Lots of different things but I wouldn’t worry too much. Just let your surgery’s office know and discuss it during your follow up visit.
