Ashleigh,I had my surgery a year ago now.I can still remember very well how I felt right after surgery.My surgery was open and was complicated by lots of adhesions left from previous abd. surgeries.I so remember what it was like to not be able to eat anything different.Iremember thinking every day for 3 weeks what have I done?Things will start improving.It may be slow going at first as far as getting to feeling better,but it will happen.Just go slow and allow yourself the time and space to heal.Own your feelings they are perfectly normal.Good luck and know that there are lot's of people wishing you the best and praying for your rapid healing and great success.

Hi Ashleigh, It takes a while for things to settle in. I was disappointed in not being able to simply drink tap water. I could only drink one sip at a time. Now things are much better. I am at 5 months. I really don't get sick and have learned what to eat and what to avoid. good luck donna

Hi Ashleigh, hang in there, it'll get better. Just don't panic. Chewable pepcid helps when the pouch is upset. I'm praying for Jesus to help you. God Bless. Marlene, WV

Hi Ashleigh! Just a note to say that many people are thinking of you and wishing and praying good things for you. This first period of time will seem to go slow but there are better things coming for you, and soon. You will look back and think "OH I didn't think I would make it!" But then you will look at your reflection and say "But I did, and look at me now!" Not to mention the wonderful health benefits. So be brave and write when you feel like it. We're cheering for you!
