I'm not quite sure how to word this but here goes: when I first came home after having my colonostomy, my output was more like a regular bm. Now it's almost 6 months later and it's much softer than before. I'm trying to lose weight prior to my reversal and am eating a lot of fruit and vegetables. Since thats the only thing thats changed in the last 2 weeks, I guess that's the problem. Has anyone else experienced this, if so, what did you do. Between the stoma, a problem at the incision area below the naval that's still not healed, a hernia, I'm almost looking forward to the reversal, but wonder what pandora's box will have in store for me.
