Hello

I'm sorry to hear you are suffering from your resection op. My husband had his on the 1st July and like you is suffering too. He was prepared for the complete washed out tiredness but was also not given any information on what to expect. He also has a funny taste in his mouth and until a few days ago would eat nothing but a little cereal as he too had no appetite, which are I think is normal. He has a stitch feeling all the time in his right hand side and general uncomfortable. Now he has started to eat more is experiencing 'cramp' like pains that stop him in his track. He does drink plenty, which maybe why you are having dark urine if you are not drinking enough. This is a major op and I expect you both will feel unwell for sometime while the body heals inside.

Thank you, Jill82. I wish your husband a full and quick recovery.

I think the thing that worries me the most is the lack of appetite due to the nausea. I was prescribed meal replacement shakes, but I don't enjoy drinking them or how I feel after. In the past couple of days though, I'm pleased to say that I have been eating slightly better.
