This topic is about someone who has an ostomy and recently experienced a small but significant success with eating lima beans. After a past experience with a severe blockage, they were understandably cautious about trying new foods. However, they decided to try a small serving of microwaved frozen lima beans, chewing them thoroughly, and were pleased to find that everything passed through their stoma without any issues. This was a personal "food victory" for them.

Here are some additional insights and advice shared in the discussion:

1. Due to a previous severe blockage, the person is careful about introducing new foods into their diet.
2. They recently ate potato soup with onions and expect to see undigested onion pieces in their pouch.
3. They recognize they aren't getting enough vegetables and are hoping to diversify their diet.
4. There are certain vegetables they dislike or assume their stoma won't tolerate, such as artichokes, asparagus, carrots, and rutabagas. They humorously refer to their stoma as "Marvin."
5. Fellow community members celebrate this success and encourage them to continue experimenting with new foods gradually, asking what they plan to try next.
6. There is a light-hearted exchange where members offer to "swap" disliked vegetables, emphasizing that everyone's tolerance is different and that trying new foods is important.
