I had an emergency surgery 2 months ago and had a full colectomy and I am 21 years old. I am glad I had this done though so that now I am cured from UC. I was in the hospital for 3 months and have been out and trying to regain a normal life again. I had a partial blockage 2 weeks ago in which I had very bad pain I the upper left quadrant and the output was a clear liquid the whole day. I finally got rid of it but yesterday I started to feel pain after I ate some pasta. I have had a lot of pasta the past 2 days and developed a bad pain around the center of the stomach area. My output yester4day was solid after eating more of bread type foods. Today I woke up and it is more liquidy with a solid brown green color.

Do you think this is another blockage? I just am not sure considering I do have an output and it does not look like the clear liquid as last time. I did call my doctor and am waiting for a response but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this? THank you!

did you opt for a J Pouch or do you have a permanent Ileostomy?

Yes I could have it reversed if wanted

baggintx11,

first, cool name!!!

If your output is still moving, doesn't seem like you have a blockage. Maybe just a little too much pasta el dante?

I also, a few months after surgery, had some pain with clear liquid a few times....maybe that was body making a final adjustment? who knows?

You are only 2 months/3 months? past surgery...give yourself some more time to recover. you've got the rest of your life to learn how to get your ostomy to live with you (yes, I said that right - LOL!). Just, drink a lot, and, chew your food! Learn to chew, and you will really get to enjoying meals instead of just scarfing stuff down....I'm always the last one to finish eating, no matter whom I am eating with....but, no one ever says anything. Enjoy your meals from now on!!!

Best regards!
