hi ,October last year I had my sigmoid colon removed due to suffering 5 years with diverticular disease, as I have been off work for three months I have put a stone on in weight which has made me more depressed as I was already a stone overweight. Now I am not very good with eating main meals as I am not really a foodie and I am now anxious about introducing fiber now as before I had the operation I was on a low fiber low residue diet, now my consultant has said I need to introduce fibre food carefully but this nhs diet says I need fibre .any advice

Hi, sorry to hear about your troubles. Hope you get better soon. I would follow what your consultant says. People on here aren't medically trained and some of us, myself included, sprout all sorts of nonsense! Good luck

Why not ask your GP to refer you to community dietician- they're the experts and they can guide you. Also look at the website- for the bladder and bowel foundation they may have suggestions for you?
