The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of early regular feeding protocol vs conventional clear fluids regimen as per ERAS protocols in patients undergoing colorectal anastomosis. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Food tolerance and return of normal bowel Habbits.
2. Rate of Anastomotic leakage
3. Length of hospital stay

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with a single, primary large bowel anastomosis

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with large bowel anastomosis and proximal diversion.
• Patients with severe systemic illnesses or comorbidities that may impact surgical outcomes or dietary tolerance (e.g., severe heart failure, renal failure, liver failure).
• Patients who require post-operative intensive care unit (ICU) admission or mechanical ventilation
• Patients with pre-existing conditions that may affect gastrointestinal function or nutrient absorption (e.g., Crohn's disease, malabsorption syndromes).
