So I had a dilation under anesthesia on the 25th. I figured I would be sore for a little bit. It took about a week and a half for the pain to start to subside a little but it felt like I still had a stricture the same feeling I had prior to my procedure. This feeling has continued all the way up until last night. I took a chance last night with some sketchy snack foods a little to late than I usually would chose to experiment. So to let you know exactly what I had it was a plate of wheat thins that I melted the block cheese of Velveeta and poured it on top then dipped it in salsa and let me tell you it was like a feeling of euphoria I have experienced 20 minutes of heaven. I was extremely nervous what the consequences were gonna be for my actions. So I was up a lot at night and it seemed like I had extreme urgency but couldn't really empty like I wanted so I had a sleepless uncomfortable night. Today I had to go out and go grocery shopping. I had a lot of pressure and had to make a pit stop halfway through and then immediately when I walked through the door before I had the chance to bring groceries in. All the sudden my bowel movements turned into diarrhea and was going almost every half an hour. At this point as you would probably figure I had a sore butt from going so much so I decided to ease some of the pain and relax a little with a warm bath. While about 10 minutes into my bath I had an amazing experience that I haven't experienced yet with my J-Pouch. I sat there with my legs out and let so much gas out it turned my bath into a jacuzzi. It was the biggest relief Ive felt in such a long time. It feels like I let out gas that has been trapped for months. After my bath I have been feeling amazing. No pain, no pressure, no feeling of soreness just total relief. I am hoping this feeling continues and I was even nervous to eat anything tonight because I didn't want to lose this feeling. I was wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else. Im hoping the scar tissue has healed and stayed stretched out but obviously can't be certain until my next appointment. I'm sure it wasnt the wheat thin nacho concoction that I put together but if that was the case I will happily eat a plate of cheesy nachos with salsa every night.
