How to lose weight after illeostomy?
hi..touchy subject. I would definitely be patient in watching who replies with their advice. Remember what works for them, may not work for you. Good old fashion sweat and exercise. Wearing a belt to keep bag safe to my side, I constantly sweat. Its,about five inches wide. Soaked by end of day. Have to keep fluids up, tho. I lost 15 lbs and I credit the drink and sweat concept. Should seek advice of a professional but my thought is they don't live with this illness. Just like doctors. Best therapy is right here. Just be patient. Good luck.
It is tough to lose weight with an ostomy. The “weight loss” menu is not the best for our output.

I agree but for some it works, others not. Gotta have the right mind set. As I lose weight the area around stoma begins to stick out more. Not the stoma.no.. But the mound, or " boob" seems to grow. Left side normal, by stoma side look like I'm growing a tub boob.

Hey Warrior!
Yes, it is always about getting your head around it! As I have gained a little weight recently, I find my tummy is so uneven. Because my belly button is over to the right of where is is suppose to be, the large scar all the way down my stomach is crooked. Weight gain seems distributed as uneven as the surgery left me!
Certainly incentive to lose that weight.
