WHAT I EAT IN A DAY WITH AN OSTOMY BAG: Episode 3

Hey ya'll! I get asked questions about my diet all the time. I started this series, "WHAT I EAT IN A DAY WITH AN OSTOMY" to show you the variety of things I eat on a daily basis. All #ostomy patients are different, and different things work for different people. What is your favorite snack??

Girl, I just had to watch this video! Amazing job!

[@jonathanroberts8712]

I am two days post op today of my colectomy and seeing your videos is helping me out and im learning so much! Thank you for doing this! Keep up the great work!

[@OstomyDiaries]

Sending you prayers for a quick recovery! 💜💚

[@tomdonegan4750]

6 months tomorrow on my colostomy, still a little weak. Did 52 days in the hospital, love your channel.

[@ScottishFurbabies2024]

Hi Amber I love your videos. I had emergency surgery in May this year and woke up to an ileostomy which saved my life. I've had crohns for 26 years, a Good few operations but this was the worst I've ever been. I could have it reversed but decided not to so watching your videos has been so helpful. I live in Scotland so its interesting to know how other people deal with things. You're awesome xx

[@kellygirl25]

Love this! I’m just a few weeks out from my colostomy and still learning/reintroducing foods. I too love the spicy potato taco from TB (though I haven’t tried them yet post-op). I get mine with ground beef added and no lettuce. I know you have it as a snack but if you ever go there for a meal, I definitely recommend it! :) I’ll be sure to check out your other videos for meal ideas!

[@karenlangford7019]

I love your videos! You have a great attitude! ( I don’t) Got my ostomy in January, and am hoping to get it reversed this summer. The best thing I learned from you was the clear shoe holder to use for supplies! It’s so smart! I bought one the day after seeing yours , and it’s made being organized so easy, so, THANK YOU! Take care! Karen 💙

[@OstomyDiaries]

I’m so glad that little tip helped you!! 💜💚

[@davidpetropoulos9631]

This is extremely helpful. Couple days post op since getting my permanent iliostomy :)

[@tedgarren4942]

Thank you for your happy and inspiring videos

[@OstomyDiaries]

You are very welcome! 💜💚

[@Deathrattle8119]

I love your videos & am so happy to have found you on KZbin! I am 9 days post op ileostomy & dreaming of eating the things I see you eating! Applesauce is the most intense food I have had so far 😩

[@OstomyDiaries]

It takes time! I didn’t have much of an appetite after surgery. I felt sick trying to eat but desperately needed to gain weight and get nutrients. I lived off baked/boiled potatoes and scrambled eggs. You will get there!! 💜💚

[@Astrid591000]

Hi Amber this was fantastic I do have ileostomy and many foods I have don’t digest very well. Will be trying some of your ideas Especially the vanilla yoghurt for a snack. Thank you so much for this video 💕💕😊

[@OstomyDiaries]

I eat yogurt all the time! Hope it works for you. Thanks for watching. 💜💚

[@communitysolutions]

Thanks very much for this video!

[@OstomyDiaries]

You’re welcome! 💜

[@user-pl5xy6pm5g]

I love bean burritos too!

[@oiaiofoster4775]

Wow, you're Brave to eat Spicy Food! The potatoes, I hope there's No Skins on it! Apple Juice I Suggest to help with your Stool.

[@patriciashaskin8830]

I have a colostomy and have to eat plenty of fiber and keep hydrated. I'm finally back to my normal weight it's taken 3 years. I really do miss salads and pot roast. I find beef hard to digest except for ground beef. I eat a lot of pasta with smooth pasta sauce and lots of cheese. Counting calories is part of my routine. I have a small peristomal hernia and being overweight can make it bigger. Thanks for sharing

[@OstomyDiaries]

I too miss salads and spinach dip haha! I have trouble digesting any kind of roughage. I am thankful to feel better though! 🙌

[@TheLendyTexasGirl]

I eat pot roast all the time. No problem at all. I don't eat salads or raw veggies or skin on potatoes.

[@jodij6280]

I love the Lemon Lime Liquid IV. I've realized that I can't eat anything after 6 pm or I have to empty my bag during the night, which is a hassle.

[@OstomyDiaries]

Yes!! Eating dinner early if possible is a must!! 👍

[@Lwashington71]

Where did you purchase the liquid IV

[@jodij6280]

@@Lwashington71 I got mine from Costco online.

[@Lwashington71]

Thank you

[@nicoles8616]

Do you have any problems with skins on veggies or fruit? That is one thing that scares me about my ileostomy. I’ve had mine for about 15 months and I’m still nervous about what to eat for fear of getting a blockage. Your videos are so helpful to me!

[@OstomyDiaries]

I try to avoid skins on fruits. For example, I peel my apples. I can have a few grapes and I’m okay. My advice is, keep a good journal. Eat a few bites of something and drink plenty of fluids. Keep a close eye on output. If you see undigested pieces it get stomach cramps then you will know that you may not digest that food well. If I ever eat spinach dip I always see it in my output. So I know I have to limit that. Take it slow and try new things one at a time. You got this! 💜

[@jamesstorrie5528]

i'm trying to put some weight back on and it's so tough! you have to eat such a big volume of food and everything that goes in has to come out... and i find that if i don't eat a good amount of fibre from fruit/veg, which isn't a lot of nutrition by volume, my output is like glue and annoying to deal with. sometimes i wish i was a foot shorter :3

[@OstomyDiaries]

I totally understand! I was trying so hard to gain weight after my surgery as I had lost so much weight pre-op. I felt nauseous trying to eat enough. 😞 I was so happy when my appetite came back. I wish I could eat more veggies. I have to be very careful with them especially if they are raw. I LOVE CHEESE-STICKS! Cheese is my favorite food lol! 💜💚

[@rackave]

Can you eat kiwis?

[@hark7538]

Please improve your diet. It’s full of salt and sugar. Sugar creates a lot of output, liquid output. I enjoyed your other video on vitamins. I will continue to tune in. Thank you for your research and information but please improve your diet. How do you feel about the vegetable? Is that a very well cooked as in broccoli. Right now all I need is string beans and lettuce. What do you think about cabbage/coleslaw?

[@wilful_SBT]

Hi. Im aspiring to get an ileostomy due to no colon and feces incontinense. I really hope you start filming videos again. Love from Sweden

[@jenniferdahan7117]

hi, where did you get water bother? very cute

[@OstomyDiaries]

Thanks! I got it on Amazon. It’s a Bubba Cup! 💜💚

[@adrienbeaudry4077]

Girl you a teacher

[@OstomyDiaries]

Yep I teach high school Biology!

[@WubiWatkins]

I'm waiting for you to show what real food you eat. Sorry sweetheart but I've been a vegetarian for 30 years getting real nutrients and I'm looking at possibly having an ostimy and what I'm allowed to eat. I've never eaten what you showed.

[@sarah-kk4om]

I ate anything with an ileostomy. There were no foods I had to avoid.
