Reply to "How long did it take for everyone to go back to the bathroom normal?"

Emuhyee, you don’t say what you expect to be your new normal. After J-pouch surgery, a normal BM has a consistency more like pudding than solid. A normal frequency is 4-6 times per day. The most important benefit is that the urgency should be gone. People report highly variable amount of time for this. I was most of the way there in 6 weeks after my surgery, and some people say it takes them a year to fully stabilize.
