Eric,
I had had the same post op complications and ended up on strait drain for months at a time the whole while working full time at the other end of the city and taking public transportation 1.5hrs each way...it is doable so do not allow the tube in you to stop you from doing every thing that you want to do (other than some maybe Olympic sports!)...there are ways of attaching it, bending it or plugging it so that you do not have to have the bag attached to it...I used a collodial sheet/patch that held down the tube close to my skin without the inconvience of tape or a belt and then plugged my tube with those little green plugs (and taped it down for double security)...I taught that way without the kids ever knowing it from Nov to March, granted I didn't eat much while out but my evening meal were good...I always stuck to mostly protien meals (fish, chicken and white meats) with bananas and other soft fruits or compots and simple, low fiber veggies (peeled tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado...) so that my tube didn't clog or need to be cleaned out...If you need help with the tube hook up just PM me and I will explain in further detail.
More hugs
Sharon
