Which Abdominal Exercises Are Advisable After A Colectomy Surgery?

I had colectomy surgery a year and a half ago. Now that I am working out regularly, I am not able to fully incorporate an abdominal work out. I m feeling a bit self conscious about it but mostly I m not particularly comfortable physically with sit ups. Can you prescribe a tolerable starter exercise for me?
