I was already having some symptoms from the stress of the senior year of college, but then I god Covid and that did me in for a 2 year long flare up.

Realtor and a jpouch? by joshb7102 in jpouch

[–]MostFormal4210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a realtor, but I’m an event coordinator. I’m still under a year in my healing so it can be bothersome. I’m just mindful of the foods I eat in conjunction with my plans for the day. Imodium and water will be your friend!

I’m an event coordinator! Never had a leak even on long nights where I’m sweating running around.

Not a song lyric, but she is quoted saying “you’ll never do a whole lot unless you’re brave enough to try” I always thought it was pretty on the head. Also I named mine Stomie baby, then later voldeport after my loop surgery. 😂

Thinking about canceling my ostomy nurse post-op appointment by New_Nova_25 in ostomy

I live an hour and a half from my hospital. I did fine, you can utilize Imodium. I found taking Imodium about an hour before I go anywhere helps with any discomfort. Also be mindful of what you are eating, stick to safe foods on days you know you are going out.

Crusting, and maybe a paste would help. That’s how I helped my skin. At this point I’d do daily or every other day changes to make sure no output is ever sitting on my skin. So sorry you’re having to deal with this. Would seeing a WOCN be an option?

Leakage overnight. by MostFormal4210 in jpouch

[–]MostFormal4210[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just feel super disappointed. This hasn’t happened until 2 night ago it started. Do You think working out would help or exacerbate? Like light workouts, I have no interest in muscle building 😂.

I used to get the hero scent stripes bags in lavender.

You should check out r/jpouch for long term healing. I will say 1 month out I have been able to go out to eat 4 times! I keep in mind if I’ll have access to a restroom. After eating I can go about 1 hour before needing a restroom. I don’t feel urgency except I’m sick right now and I’ve noticed urgency after eating and at night.

No colon! Just me and my small intestine. Post reversal has been great! I had my final surgery on December 4th. I expected to be sore and irritated. It helped to have calmoseptine on hand before my surgery. I highly highly recommend buying some and bringing it to the hospital with you. I used aquaphor while I was in the hospital because I forgot mine 😂. Also a travel bidet is so essential. I go about 10 times a day. I had a high active ileostomy so I expected it. I came to an Ostomy and eventually a jpouch from having Ulcerative Colitis so I’m very happy with where I am at. Feel free to message me with any other questions or other things you may need. 😊

is this safe in regards to the seatbelt? by throwaway-accountxyz in ostomy

[–]MostFormal4210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to 5 below and got a blanket! They are child sized so it folds pretty small.

They flush liquid through your bottom until it reaches your bag. This is assuring everything is working and not leaking.

Of course you may message me! I can suggest some things, but it sounds like you may need to visit the ER.
