thank you

This topic is about someone celebrating their two-year anniversary after ostomy surgery by embarking on an adventurous canyoning trip in the Azores. This exciting journey included activities like rappelling, cliff jumping, swimming, and hiking. The person had no complications and attributes their successful adventure to the helpful advice they received from a supportive community. They share a message of gratitude and encourage others with ostomies to embrace new experiences and live life to the fullest.

Here are some pieces of advice and insights shared by others:

1. Many people emphasize the importance of staying active and making the most of each day, showing that having an ostomy doesn't have to limit adventurous activities.

2. Seeing real-world examples, such as canyoning and cliff jumping, is often more inspiring and convincing than just hearing that such activities are possible.

3. Maintaining a positive attitude and a "never give up" mindset is encouraged, as it helps in fully engaging with life's opportunities.

4. There is a strong interest in sharing photos, as they provide visual proof of active lifestyles with an ostomy, inspiring others in the community.
