Doug K.... I am a 9%er....my average is 14 to 16 times a day. I have been back to work for over a month. I work for an energy company and work in the field... all over the county at various customers homes. I was very afraid with my frequency and the Covid shitting down most public rest rooms. It has been a huge adjustment for me. So far I have performed my plumbing style duties and have arranged my eating habits to hit the restrooms on and around my breaks. It hasn’t been perfect but I would say it’s far from a failure. In fact, I am currently working 12 hrs per day. I also considered skipping the pouch but made a promise to my self to give it a go for that first year...I’m 4 months post take down and happy that I did it... I wish the best for you ...... none of this is easy ... just consider the pouch... I’m 14 plus BM per day and not even close to “house bound”.
