It’s a big operation & does take a while to settle. Try not to worry (easy to say I know) and just rest as much as possible. Accept all offers of help.
It’s early days so no lifting etc just get up and have a little wander about every now and again. As the days go by you will feel stronger but don’t be tempted to do too much too soon.
I also get IBS and it is such a nuisance with everything else so I know how you feel. Having the bowel back in it’s normal place does feel better though so it is worth doing. Good luck. X
