Getting to Know You - Ostomy Lifestyle Quiz

This topic is about a fun and engaging quiz designed for people with ostomies to share a bit about themselves, similar to those quizzes you might see on social media, but without any data collection worries. Here are some of the questions and insights shared:

1. What activities do you enjoy now compared to before your ostomy?
2. Are you more of a social extrovert or a shy introvert?
3. Do you consider yourself a morning person or a night owl?
4. How would you describe your sleep pattern: light sleeper, insomniac, or a "sleeping log"?
5. Do you prefer paper or plastic?
6. Do you go for caffeinated or decaffeinated drinks?
7. Have you ever faced rejection because of your ostomy?
8. How do you feel about animals?
9. How many ostomy product brands did you try before finding the right one for you?
10. What do you love most about Christmas?
11. Have you ever faked anything?
12. Which flavor do you prefer: chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry?
13. What is the best vacation spot you have visited?
14. What is the best vacation spot you have never visited but would love to?
15. To participate, you can copy and paste these questions and fill in your responses.

Some additional tips and information:

- If copying and pasting is tricky on your device, like on a Pixel 6 Pro, you can drag up from the bottom, select "Select," highlight, and then copy.
- If you can't copy the list, you can simply label your answers from 1 to 15.
- The quiz creator is happy to email the list of questions to anyone who needs it.

One member shared their personal experiences, mentioning they enjoy family time, woodworking, movies, and audiobooks. They are a social extrovert and a night person. They also noted that many people with ostomies experience fragmented sleep due to concerns about emptying or leaks. They love dogs, have tried about 100 different ostomy products, and cherish watching children open Christmas gifts. Their favorite trip was to 17 Mile Drive, Carmel-by-the-Sea, and they dream of visiting Disney World.

An important insight from another member is about dealing with severe product allergies. They have tested nearly every ostomy product available in the U.S. and can only tolerate one brand. This highlights the importance of having sensitive-skin alternatives and the need for extensive product sampling for those with allergies.
