2 years ago today, I nearly died in Sx- 3rd ileo surgery in 40 years. Now, I have high output. I was losing tons of weight despite eating for 2 grown men, drinking tons of water for hydration, and weight all over from 100-106. 3 weeks starting making my own isotonic drink packets, I gained 8 lbs the first week and am now 111-114. I haven't seen those numbers in 2 years. If you are high output, follow the diet plan for SBS. It changed my life.
