Hi all, new member here. I am a new owner of a J pouch with my takedown only being 4 months old. I was a very health person before my UC became untreatable and caused me to lose 30 pounds. I was a very lean 165 and worked out 5 days a week before becoming ill. I have since had 3 surgeries and now fully healed from them. I have been back to working out and life in general for a couple of months now. That being said I am having a hard time gaining weight due to everything going through me so fast. My meals generally only take a couple of hours to pass. My normal protein gives me gas and is out of the question. Anyone have any advice for a person interested in getting back the muscle I lost from Chronic UC and 3 closely performed surgeries?
