Week 1 with an Ileostomy: Eating, Emptying, and More

So you wake up from surgery with an ileostomy.  Now what?!  In this video I talk about how my first ileostomy bag changes went, what I was and wasn’t supposed to eat, and the different methods you can use to empty your bag.  There is definitely a learning curve to having an ostomy and I had plenty of struggles in that first week, so know that you aren’t alone if you’re also having troubles.
