Default At Goal & now large intestine,rectum removal

Well as many of you know I have been working hard to get to my goal weight so that I can have my next surgery. On 1/24/08 I will go under again to have the precancerous large intestine, rectum and anus removed.

I am hoping to be out of the hospital in about 6 to 14 days and then home with my loving wife.

I am having pouch pain every meal. I don't seem to have this pain when I have my snack of string cheese or jerky. Do you think I am trying to eat to much food. I also am still fighting with dehydration. I am up to 84 oz.s per day and taking salt tablets twice a day. I am wondering if many of you are taking Imodium on a daily basis?

Sorry for the ramble I guess I an getting a little nervous
