Hi Angel, I feel for you, Angel. I was in the hospital for a long time after I got my ileostomy, so I had some time... with lots of drugs! In the hospital to get used to it, as much as you can get used to it! Honestly, you may never get used to it, but I promise you will learn to live with it.
First thing, I see what looks like a hospital transparent bag. Have you seen an ostomy nurse since the hospital? You need the bags that you cannot see through. You know it's there stuck to your little belly, so there's no need to keep reminding yourself by having to look at it every day and see all the nasty that's in there.
Leaks... leaks happen even with veterans of the baggie. I'll suggest that you use bags that have a hard plastic pad that curves inward. The best one is Convex Hollister one-piece or two-piece system. I use Hollister, so I'm biased, but they are the best I have used. The pad/wafer that sticks to your belly has to dip inward around the edge of the stoma so the edge pushes into your belly, keeping it tight around the stoma edges. If you use a flat sticky wafer, the nasty stuff will seep under the edges and it will leak around the edges. This will burn your skin and cause problems. I posted some photos of the things I use. Eakin Seals are a lifesaver. The sticky stuff will be eaten away by stomach acid. The Eakin Seal will at least double or triple the days you get out of one bag/pad. Eakin is a round disk of the soft sticky stuff and goes on first, under the wafer. Push the Eakin down firmly but gently around the edge of the stoma, then put the convex wafer on top.
Leaks around and under the wafer. You can slow down a leak by putting surgical paper tape in a square, one strip top, bottom, and both sides. I use the 2-inch wide flesh-colored tape. Six rolls of this on Amazon for a few bucks. I use this tape every day and replace it if it lifts at all. I swim in the ocean, big waves with this tape, in a pool, a lake, the shower, and it will not come off until you take it off. That tape has saved my butt more times than I can count.
Very liquid output is the norm for an ileostomy (when the entire colon is removed). A colostomy is when you have some of your colon left, output will not be as liquid.
Very liquid output will wear away the sticky on the wafer very quickly. My suggestion is something called "Pearls". These are little packets, like a pack of sugar. This stuff can absorb a huge amount of water. You pop one in every time you empty the bag. This will make the contents thick and lowers the amount of free liquid in the bag, so no sloshing around when walking or in bed. You will cut down on your bathroom visits and you will get very few leaks with the thicker output. You can try to change your diet to try and make it thicker, but the "Pearls" will do even better. Many leaks happen because very liquid output seeps under the wafer.
If you try these things, I guarantee that your life will become much easier, bathroom visits less frequent, and most leaks will stop. I've done this for a long time and these steps actually work. I see from Google Earth that there are some open recreation areas in that area and a lake. If you do as I suggested, you will be able to walk in the park and not have to worry about leaks, guaranteed. I hope your insurance gives you these things because they can be expensive if you have to buy them yourself.
Please let me know if you tried them and if you do, how did it work for you?
Hope you feel better soon, Angel. If you have any questions, just ask. These have made my life so much better. I've had leaks in a classroom in college, on a bus without a bathroom, on a train, and last but definitely the worst... in the security TSA checkpoint at San Francisco Airport! I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy!
All the best and keep me posted, Eamon.
