I'm staying away from any meat for like two weeks. Been eating all soft foods. I made a big batch of home made chicken bone broth that I have with white rice. Mashed potatoes, white rice, banannas, apple sauce etc... I ate two peanut butter toast yesterday that didn't agree with me too well, so I'm holding off on that. I'm also doing intermittent fasting, two meals a day: Lunch at around noon and then I eat the second big meal at around 6pm. Drink lots of water. Intermittent fasting gives the jpouch time to rest big time. Much trial and error in all this. What works for one person may not work for others as we are all different. But eating steak and red meats like that is very rough on the jpouch, especially right after surgery. I've heard from so many people that chicken isn't that bad on the pouch. Regardless, anything is better than living with ulcerative colitis and those nasty symptoms. There is a ton of info on this jpouch website.
