No question in my mind, this can be beat. Don't let it get you down. Modern medicine is Awesome! For different reasons, I have also had my large intestine and several feet of small intestine removed. For me it was an unpleasant disease known as Ulcerative colitis. Not the C word but pretty nasty. I dealt with it for years before having the surgery. When I had the surgery, it was still "experimental". Now they do it all the time. It was 17 years ago this summer for me. Other than a big scar and a few pills a day, life without the old large intestine is 100% normal, actually, better than normal. On the bright side, guys like us without large intestines won't have to have a colonoscopy every couple years when we get older! They can't scope it if you don't have one! Hang in there, I know it can feel like the progress is slow sometimes but you'll back in action before you know it.
