I had a stall around 3-4 weeks and it lasted well over a week. Good news is it doesn't last forever so hang in there. From what I have read a stall around the one month mark is pretty common.

Ok. Thanks!! Hopefully things change soon.

So, I've got a weird question. It seems that my pouch doesn't handle things the same in the morning as it does in the late afternoon/evening. For example, if I drink milk in the morning, it doesn't sit right. My tummy gurgles and feels heavy if I drink it later in the day it's fine. Its not just milk. Does this happen to anyone else?

Yup, I can't handle much in the am...usually make do with protein.

My pouch is slow to warm as well. Most mornings I'm luck to get down a cup of hot tea. But my lunch I'm starving :-). Every pouch has its own quirks I guess!

I had my surgery July 16th and it seems like about an hour after I eat my intestines start to burn and I get bad gas. It's driving me nuts. Does this happen to anyone else?
