Will improve: Initially you may notice more frequent and looser bowel movements. This should improve with time especially with a higher fiber diet. However, you may never return to the number of daily bowel movenments you were having prior to the surgery. This is due to the left colons primary role of absorbing water as stool moves through the colon.
