I've had my permanent colostomy for over a year and I have tried every protein shake/powder made, and I either can't stand the taste to get it down or burnt myself out on the ones I used to tolerate. The point is though that none of it helped me gain weight nor helped my colostomy stay regular. I feel stuck. My ostomy is seriously annoying most days. It's my ostomy's world, I'm just living in it. Lol.
