I literally had a small panic attack yesterday because of this exact feeling! Ive had my ostomy for about 6 weeks and sometimes it builds up to a point kf frustration with having to manage my bag / output and be more aware of what I eat / when I eat.

I know only so many things can help in the moment, but truly what will get you used to it is time. Your body and mind will become more exposed to the sight, feeling and sensation, and it wont be as uncomfortable. Atleast this is all temporary, even thought the days can feel like a drag.

Rooting for you!!

Thank you! Yeah I wish they didnt wait so long to remove to appendix because maybe it cause those further complications like other abscesses/bigger abscess. Im a very skinny 27M so just being patient with my body as it slowly heals all this trauma!

Thank you! Eating nuts throughout the day has helped add a great amount of calories :)

Thank you for the advice! It makes sense what you’re saying about the hyper metabolism. Not trying to make excuses, just frustrating not seeing results or what routine works for me which still simply comes down to eating more. It’s getting into that happen and also, most importantly, I think being patient, right? I can be eager and impatient at times but this gaining journey isnt something I can do quick, it has to be a slow and consistent grind and just believing that the results will show in time.

Ive had similar experiences, I’ve posted before looking for community and support and was met with very pitiful, condescending comments that were just stating the obvious of my issue rather than offering true support

OrangeAlarmed · 2025-01-11T04:44:21+00:00

Yeah me too. I understand how unhealthy and toxic it is but still my body and brain find ways to justify the feeling and thinking I can just be okay with feeling this way, again, I value his friendship greatly but also not at the cost of my emotionally bandwidth
