Reply to "12 hours without a BM.... is this a record"

He will not listen Rev Kenny, some people just gotta learn the hard way. There are so many complications that can happen but some people are just very close-minded. Some people on here that have held their poop in have suffered obstructions/ blockages and hernias but if people do not want to see that as a warning then oh well I suppose, we just gotta respect it and let it go.

So Rev Kenny, we will continue going the loo

It’s not that I won’t listen; it that you are ill inform and are failing to understand, despite how many times I explain.

I’ve not posted my 12 hour record on here to brag that I’ve been resisting the urge to use the toilet for 12 hours.

After a BM in the morning; I had no urge, sensation or need to use the toilet, other than to pee, for 12 hours.

Resisting the urge to go, not long after takedown, is only practiced in the first few weeks or months; and is kinda like learning to distinguish the difference between dangerously hot as a child.

As Adults, we don’t continue to pick up or touch items that could be hot and dangerous, because we’ve learned to differentiate as children.

Whilst attempting to resist the urge, not long after takedown; the moment you start to feel sick, bloated or uncomfortable, then you’ve resisted for far too long and need to stop and just go.

Resisting the urge is a method practiced to reduce daily BMs; and as I currently only endure the disruption of 3 to 4, maybe 5 BMs per day; compared to 13, then it obviously worked.

I only briefly practiced such a technique, not long after my takedown, whilst under the guidance from St Marks Hospital; the Worlds leading J pouch Surgery Hospital.

I posted my 12 hour record on here to inform those considering J pouch surgery, as to what maybe possible.

The most important questions when I was considering J pouch surgery, was; how many BM per day and how frequent will BMs be.

I’m certainly not suggesting that all recipients of J pouch Surgery, spend every waking hour resisting the urge to empty their pouch........although by doing so during the first few weeks or months after takedown, they too, may endure only 3 to 4 BMs per day, rather than 13.
