Sometimes: A lack of energy in someone with your surgery is due to dehydration. Try drinking 80-100 ounces of gatorade type fluids daily. See your surgeon to discuss other potential deficiencies that might explain you lack of energy.

Fluids: You might be dehydrating since you have more bms and less time to reabsorb water with no colon.
