Greetings,
Maybe it is just a coinsidence, but since I've had my Urostomy, I have become very thirsty. Anyone else? Overnight, my nightbag gets over a liter full. I wake up in the middle of the night and have to get a drink (water).
Sort of strange...

That is correct. It happens to me, and I need to drink water when that thirst arrives. I have not been to this site for a very long time, as you can see, but thirst at times still happens, not as it used to be. It is very important to drink lots of water, thirsty or not, because one gets dehydrated quite easily.

I began my Urostomy life February 27th, 2023...a month and a half ago. I stumbled upon this site from another on Youtube and website called VeganOstomy and between that site and this one, most of my fear and worry of not having any answers other than calling the Dr's office recording menu and hoping to hear back in the next day or two for an answer to leaks, skin irritations etc, or just feeling alone and the "no one understands" thoughts I had to look forward to in my mind were all put to rest by these two websites and the community here at MaO!! I have been here for a few weeks now, and the help and support offered by the members here is just amazing!! The information and support is absolutely priceless for anyone recently out of their surgery and have tons of questions or had it for years...sit down...have a good read and you will see for yourself!!
