Now down to the weight I wanted to be. I have eaten pizza but mainly the white pizza, not sure if the tomato sauce would bother me or not!! I thought I would be better off with the ostomy too, but 7 weeks post op from takedown I know that is not true by any means. You will do so much more than you ever thought possible once you recover from takedown. Today I have cut grass, weeded, walked etc.... I just do it at my own pace, when I get tired or my stomach feels tight, I stop and rest! Just listen to your body after surgery, and please keep us posted on how things go. There are thousands of people who have had this surgery who are not posting, they are out living their lives to the fullest. Thankfully we have those who are long time j-pouchers who keep us informed and have the newbies like myself who post, This site has been a godsend to me!!
I agree with all above! Especially the eating part. I lost 30 lbs so don't worry about the weight gain if there is any with an ileo. I actually had the 30lbs to spare Now down to the weight I wanted to be. I have eaten pizza but mainly the white pizza, not sure if the tomato sauce would bother me or not!!
