@mollymeow posted:No, I have not but that sounds awful, I am so sorry you had to go through that! Who would have thought lettuce and carrots could do such a thing? Thank you for sharing your experience, you never know when that info could help a fellow J-poucher. I was not told that any foods were off limits either. I recently felt "stuck" and very very painful after eating raw broccoli and vowed not to do THAT again. If only it weren't such a game of trial and error :/ Hope you are on the mend and healing up <3
No one ever told you not to eat certain foods? I'm so surprised. I thought not eating blockage producing foods was standard hospital discharge advice that they give to everyone who has this surgery. I was told to avoid raw vegetables and bok choy, even if it's cooked. And whatever you do, NEVER eat corn. If you're anything like me - and I'm someone who doesn't have a ton of adhesions and complications - more than a few spoonfulls will put you in the hospital. Even if I try to puree it in a blender, that doesn't even work for some reason. Corn kernels seem to never lose their shape, no matter what you do to them. No matter how well you think you've destroyed them in the blender, they seem to magically regain their shape after being eaten and will still cause blockages and pain.
