I think for like two weeks after take down I lived on toast, scrambled eggs and yogurt. Then after that I just ate whatever I was preparing for my family and it was life as usual. I never stayed away from fiber...I love fruits and veggies too much. Everyone is different but you will never know unless you try. Start out with small amounts and build from there.

The only time I took Imodium is when I had my loop ileo. I didn't take it after takedown because I wanted my body to adjust on its own. Imodium thickens up the stool. When I took it with my ileo it did slow the pace of the output too.

I don't eat any fiber since it does not do well for me, I stay pretty much with the protein diet and low residue such rice, potatoes, carrots, green beans, bread... Etc. most of the time I have no issues with consistency. My output isn't liquid unless I eat fiber. Again, try different things and keep track of what works, I think we all do a lot of trial and error.
