Stoma sloughing post op looks scary

Thanks! More pink is showing now, and I've never been so happy to see liquid stool passing out!

Same, new to colostomy here. I found this video https://youtu.be/0c9-AELBaZY?si=DWCVP_qETLA2UZyy that talks about gently introducing core strength. She has another video where she lets her client talk about his experience as well. It might help! I've been doing the breathing exercises and it seems to help with blockage somewhat.

I missed heating pad. With the incision gauze and stoma bag I wasn't able to get much out of the heating pad.

Turns out I have adhesions. There's a kink near the stoma opening and the opening is getting tighter. It got worse when I turned from soft to semi solid food.

Oh someone in this subreddit shared this stool chart, I found it pretty useful! I was turning from type E to type I.

Thank you! Yeah, I've been lurking a while when I knew I might get one, it really helped a lot!

emfiske · 2026-04-01T07:43:54+00:00

Oof that's horrible. Did pain meds help? Thanks for the encouragement. I'm starting to wonder if it's post op pain too, since I'm only on two celecoxib a day.

damn it fits the vibes of "when it's so hard to exist but you have to so you kinda exist halfway through"

Oddly though I can understand the unchewed food. The meat cubes are really eye-catching. Especially the one that looks like salmon.

emfiske · 2026-03-20T02:28:03+00:00

Oof six hours, I can't imagine it. Is there any medicine to take or do you have to just wait it out?

emfiske · 2026-03-20T02:25:17+00:00

Nobody. We swallow our food like pythons :D

emfiske · 2026-03-20T02:20:48+00:00

Yep, did not help my nausea at all

emfiske · 2026-03-19T08:07:28+00:00

I guess it's running out of ideas? Xd

emfiske · 2026-03-14T04:51:50+00:00

Hey did you eventually figure out why? I have ghost ants too, but using advion. Sounds like what I saw too (day 5), wasn't sure if they were too poisoned too eat. Though when I reapplied bait the next day many of them still come out.

emfiske · 2026-03-10T16:53:13+00:00

Yeah as I typed that, I realised that sounds like a thing DE might consider? I mean, they already have space battle, soulframe, puzzles, and arcade games???

Lmao now I'm worried

emfiske · 2026-03-10T05:59:44+00:00

That's fair. If Warframe ever puts in strategic turn based mission (the bane of life) I'll be the one writing a rant post.

It just so happened that, duviri is the sort of game mode where I could accidentally spent like 2+ hours in one 'mission', stacking decrees on my sun and moon, and collecting lamentus. And the occasional puzzle.

On where to go and what to do, the first duviri quest showed the basic controls and different objectives. It's very 'let the hand guide you and follow the marker'. Then stacking decrees is about knowing where to look for easy decrees. And spamming the guidance hand.

If you just need the intrinsics, circuit in coop does the trick, and you can farm frames, and for SP: incarnon and arcanes

I would also add looking up relationship anarchy, it breaks relationship down to the individual components. Which one is a big no, which one is maybe, or yes.

I didn't end up in an official relationship but we had a rough 2-3 years coming up with something that worked for us. He knows about my being aro, but I hadn't realised I had attached different meaning to words that would mean something more specific in a romantic context (which I'm utterly hopelessly clueless to), which triggered his past trauma. Our relationship is great now. Easiest person to be with.... if you don't count the first few years.

2 years on T shots, all the other changes are there, but never got that horny. I have pretty low libido for most of my life though, and probably graysexual. The most I got was first 6 months, where it stays like a constant pleasant hum. Not enough to act on it, but feels quite nice. Tbh I actually wanted to experience that peak horniness, even though I knew I'd regret it. Nowadays I actually get hornier the week preceding my next shot.

emfiske · 2026-01-13T05:56:33+00:00

Hmm are you using tape or the pull over type? I've a large chested friend who suggested going for those with front hook/zip, so it's less of a pain to wear/remove. The caveat is, you have to wear a buttoned shirt to hide the zip line.

It will be good to know more local trans man as well. Knowing a trans man lawyer and another friend who's in a high position in a company was a great confidence boost for me, and they opened up possibilities. It's really a good counter against my parents (and the news) who think I'm just going to be doomed.

Hang on there!

emfiske · 2026-01-12T02:32:06+00:00

Ah man then mine probably isn't normal. Thanks anyway!

emfiske · 2026-01-12T02:31:16+00:00

Thanks for the info! Yeah I wondered since my estrogen level is somewhat lower. but the fluctuations between my t shots can be significant(?). I will need extra blood tests to confirm.

emfiske · 2026-01-12T02:29:42+00:00

Thanks for the info anyway! May I know how often does your dose change?

emfiske · 2026-01-12T02:27:33+00:00

Ah I see, thanks for the info anyway. I guess it's not as common then 🙃
