Hi:
I have a urostomy and within the past 3 years i am having increased kidney stones that have to be removed from my right kidney through my back. I am physically fit, and eat a kidney stone diet along with drinking 3 liters of water daily. unfortunately i am unable to reduce my kidney stones because the stones are caused from chronic infection from the urostomy. (i never thought taking the bladder out and wearing a bag that this would happen). So far no hernia around the stoma. I work on strengthing my core at least twice a week. Taking lots of time getting strong in the core due to 12 abdominal surgeries with lots of internal adhesions.
I love the gym and doing my weight lifting, along with yoga and cardio-drumming. Now since my last surgery i can do no strenous excerise, so far doing the trendmill for 45 minutes and daily walking. I have two more weeks to go and am bored.
I love your post about ostmates who can live a healthy life style, and you have done well in your journey and set a great example! You have done WELL!
I feel so much healthier and better living the healthy life style, and eating a healthy diet managed to loose my extra weight 55 lib in a year. September 2023- i climbed up Titon mountain in Yellow stone and did 20,00 steps straight up a narrow rocky path-it was a challenge but, i was proud i had the stamia to do the climb. Pretty fun for an ostmate.
