Hi, I had my reversal nearly 4 months ago and every is starting to settle down. Got into a routine with bowel movements and eating but I want to put weight back on as well as not up setting things. Any advice on foods? And also working out? Thank you

Congratulations on doing so well 
I suggest that you eat more often than 3 times a day. It's better for your new plumbing and you might be able to get in some extra calories in there too. I find potato chips, in moderation, are a good snack as they give me salt for hydration and my pouch seems to love them. I also eat Greek yogurt during the day and everyone is going to kill me for this one - rice krispie treats. Yes they have sugar but they also have marshmallows which help firm up everything. There's my safe 3 things I think everyone can tolerate, except the lactose intolerant.
Protein is good too. I have a 100% plant based protein drink a day called PlantFusion. They are on the internet and have a Facebook page. It is gluten/nut/lactose etc. free and supplies 43% of the daily required protein.

good fatty foods that most pouches tolerate are creamy peanut butter, avocado, full fat yogurt, cheese, and breads. i second the potato chips...my system loves the salt. however, i have to stay away from the sweets...no rice krispie treats for me :-)
