Hi,
I've had my J-pouch since the end of January and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for meal plans. I needed to gain weight so I have basically just been bingeing on food throughout the day and paying the price on the toilet for it later. I'm always really bloated, it seems like I don't ever get rid of all of the food that's in my intestine, that I could go at any time if I felt like it, sometimes my lower right abdomen feels like it's a balloon being blown up slowly, and I have a bad case of what I assume "butt burn" is. Will it be like this forever? I want my life back, I've become jealous of my friends being able to drink or eat anything they want and I don't even know if I'll ever be comfortable wearing a swimsuit again. Do people wear bikinis after abdominal surgery?
Thanks,
Kelsey, 22

Kelsey,
Check out www.ucvlog.com There's a girl named Nadia that had the same surgery and has posted videos about the scars/food/everything. Also, you can check youtube for other ones.
Personally, i've seen the scar and it's NOTHING. You could definitely wear a bikini and nobody will notice.
