Has anyone started taking normal food imediatley and reacting normaly? Im a week post op and so far i tried foods that i normaly eat coffe cakes etc.. went to toilet like 3 4 times per day

Just looking for words of comfort more than anything. Had my jpouch for over a year, turned out my “mystery pains” were my intestines trying to sneak out a small hole in my abdomen.

On Friday they got obstructed, Monday I had hernia repair surgery. Because of the small size now mesh was used. But man I hurt!! It’s embarrassing almost after the amount of surgeries I have had how much this one hurts.

I also have a cough caused by seasonal post nasal drip which is making me feel like I’m going to rip open. Plus the pain of gas and BMs with no way to push down without pain.

Tell me it will be short lived misery :(

Is it possible to have a blockage with a j pouch? Or a partial? I have a ton of trapped gas I can only get some out while laying on my side and I’m only emptying a little amount at a time. My stomach is making crazy noises
