Hello! First hope you all are staying safe and healthy. And finding tp.

Wednesday is 5 weeks for me since takedown. I feel like I've turned a corner in the last 3 to 4 days with easier pouch emptying and eating more. I would love to gain about 10 lbs! Very little butt burn and itching, although some. 

My question: I only go 1 to 3 times during the day but around 4 or 5 pm the floodgates open and I have increased frequency and looser stools. So I know immidium, fiber, diet are all important, thanks to this forum .What did time (months) do for you? Do you find time itself made a big difference in your j pouch function and frequency?

Time was crucial for me. I remember a qualitative difference at 4 months and then again at six months but it really wasn't until about a year had passed that I experienced real stability. I know that sounds discouraging but I'm sure at some point you'll be able to look back and be thankful it's changed and all is ok.  Best of luck to you....
