Query:
I underwent complex surgery for piles, fistula, fissure, and hemorrhoids on 27th November. The wounded area is almost healed, and while there is some manageable pain after passing stool, my main concern is now weight loss.
Previously, I weighed 55 kg, but now I’m down to 52 kg. I am 25 years old, 5 ft 6 in tall, and have an ectomorphic body type. Before the surgery, I used to work out 5 days a week with a focus on hypertrophy training, but I don’t have permission to resume workouts yet.
I’m trying to gain weight(I am facing lots of challenges to gain weight earlier days also due to being ectomorphic), but my doctor has advised me to avoid high-protein diets to prevent constipation. Could you suggest any weight gain strategies or foods that won’t trigger constipation? How can I maintain or gain healthy weight during this recovery period?
