One happy girl : ]

So I am 11 days out of my takedown surgery, and I must say it was a very bumpy road to begin with. With the tube down my throat and not being allowed to eat for 9 days while everything woke up and started working right again, I was miserable!

Now I am proud to say everything is going wonderfully! I am about to try chicken noodle soup for the 1st time since surgery.

I go see my doctor in the morning to have my staples removed. The only thing I can complain about is not being able to pick my daughter up right now and that will get better.

I am so thankful for this expierince, it has taught me alot to say the least!

That's great news!

Blessed, are you having any leakages or anything like that?

Glad things are going your way!

Thank yall! Im eating everything I am allowed to lol.
No I am not having any leaks, everything is perfect : ]

Very happy for you!!!

I went through it last year and am living an incredibly active life, something that I thought I'd never be doing again after I was slammed with UC and had basically emergency surgery. It will only get better with time! Just remember you have to walk, walk, walk, walk, and then walk some more. I was forced by my nurse to walk the hospital after 3 days of absolutely refusing to walk because I literally didn't think I could. After that first walk, things went better and better every day.

Good luck and congratulations!

If you wanna look at my story here you go, I'm also 22 years old. www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=2328545

I actually just took a very very bad motocross crash a month ago (recovering still from surgery for a broken collar bone). It was to the point where they were worried of internal injuries as well as a broken pelvis, and my j pouch was 100% fine! Just to show you, the surgery will absolutely not stop you from doing ANYTHING.

Im sorry to hear about your accident, hope everything is getting better!
