Hope everyone is well. Finally, it's getting really close to my drop down surgery. I was wondering what you guys started eating the first week or two weeks after surgery to take it easy on the jpouch? Also in past conversations, I remember a few people mentioning metamucil to thicken up the stools: what was the ratio you mix per 8-12oz of water and how many glasses of that did you or do you drink per day? Thanks.

I took it real easy the first month post takedown....in addition to mashed potatoes noodles, peanut butter toast I also ate a lot of white rice....best of luck to you and remember to not rush into new foods....take it slow...(just as an example.....week 2 I had a big plate of spaghetti....the tomato sauce was not easy on my pouch and I paid dearly for that)...  a few months later I was able to have red sauce but not in large portions.....keep us posted on your progress
