Hi. I have had my ostomy for 2 weeks now. Double Barrell diverting due to rectal tear from hyst. surgery. I have also now developed a bladder/vag. fistula causing constant urine leak despite a foley cath. My issue is that its hard to keep up the fluids and my output goes from thick to watery within the same day. Is it basically a guessing game when deciding on what to eat or not. I have lost alot of weight and am facing 2 more surgeries within the next month or so.....so easy to get down and depressed.
