@Danr11 posted:Yes that does sound scary! Living with a J-pouch is a very different life style than the average person and I find most people don't even realise it. I know whenever I start a new job I always have to have a conversation with the boss and let them know about the surgery I have had done. And how I will need to hydrate and use the washroom more than the average person. "Most" of the time they are understanding. Not to mention waking up in the morning and having to go to work with a sore butt is the worst. lol.
I'm glad I stumbled upon this website, as I can read about people with similar experiences.
At least have excuses not to lift heavy stuff and not do situps hahaa XD. And that is an excellent idea!! Letting bosses know everything, definitely makes life more easier I noticed. That way they do not make up their own assumptions like sneaking off to text or something when really you are pooping lol. But of course there is always some bosses that are literally buttholes about anything lol. Some people do not understand anything unless they are in that situation themselves unfortunately. And I bet you get tired too from pooping overnight as well. I hate getting up overnight to poop when I am tired hahaa XD
And yeah same!!! We are family here 
. I learned sooo much from this website
