This topic is about someone who is nine months into their recovery after ostomy surgery and is curious about whether it's safe to start doing abdominal exercises like crunches. They are seeking advice and personal experiences from others who might have been in a similar situation.

Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by others:

- Many people agree that doing abdominal exercises is generally okay, as long as you don't feel any pain or discomfort. It's important to pay attention to how your body feels and stop if anything hurts.
- One person shared a light-hearted tip about modifying exercises. For example, if one side of your abdomen feels stronger or more comfortable, you might try doing a "one-sided sit-up" to accommodate that.
