College and stuff

So, I am supposed to be returning to college in mid-August and have yet to have my reversal. I have a meeting with my surgeon on Monday and assume that I will get a date for the next surgery then. I know everyone has different recovery times and what not but does anyone have thoughts on the matter? Do you think I should be able to go back to school in August or should I start looking into how to cancel my housing and stuff just to be on the safe side? When I had the first surgery in May I really thought things would progress much faster than they did, and now I am concerned. The thought of taking a semester off disgusts me, but at the same time if I can't handle adjusting to the j-pouch/classes/ walking everywhere I go, I guess it's what I should do.

Also, I thought since my surgery is (hopefully) coming up I'd see what foods people have found helpful to eat after the reversal. I was looking on J-pouch.org about people eating blue berries and other foods I've just been a little bit concerned about eating for fear of a blockage (maybe I'm too cautious). Anyway, does the list of foods recommended to avoid change at all?

Everyone recovers differently. So, you may be ready to go back --- I don't have a j pouch, so I'm not speaking from experience. But I am sure others will be along to give you their 2 cents worth.

You might just want to check into who your contacts at the Univ are IF you need to cancel for the semester. At least you will have the research done now, phone numbers in hand and deadline information for full refunds. As far as refunds go, a medical excuse - providing your doctor will give you one - may override all the deadlines for you. Check into that as well. Just my suggestions - I worked at a University and they are pretty sympathetic to illness related withdrawals from school.
