    Replacing the "J" bend must have loosened some gunk built up on the pipe wall and now you have a blockage in the horizontal drain line in the wall.
    The solution would be to remove the "J" bend and send a snake up into the wall, (see image). N You will hit a bend about 8 inches but once past that you should only have 5 more feet to put out. Flush with a sink full of hot water, Good luck, Tom
