worried about big poo in the bag

Hi my name is neil I do really big poos I am concerned it will not fit in the bag or is it smaller and less out the some if any one can help on the topicwould be great

Hey Neil without this sounding too yukky,your poo doesn't form in the same way. It has more of a porrage consistency, remember the hole it's gonna squeeze thru is a lot smaller than your bum hole. You can get maxi size bags if ur a big eater mini bags for say, if ur gonna go swimming or the likes. I usually empty my bags about 4-5 times a day, change it 1st thing in morning last thing at night. hope this helps.xc

Many thanks that has put my mind at rest many thanks fot you words of wisdom hope we can talk again

No probs. 1st time I've been on this site. Not used to talking about things like this to people. Usually put on a sellotape smile. My mobility improved after op. Good luck.xc

Wish u had a profile I have only been a member a few days I would love to get to know you better

Stories of Living Life to the Fullest from Ostomy Advocates I Hollister

We can talk about anything you want when ever you want I will be hear for you

Aw that is so nice. I tried to add profile about 3 times. Think it's finally worked.Catch u later.xc

Its worked wow u r hot how r u doing and r the children ok

Away ye go.Yep we're all fine thanks. I spend most days as a taxi service for my kids. I've got a wee grandson. He's 3 I take him to nursery in the morns. Not much of an exiting life but hey I wouldn't change it for the world. Was in Turkey last month, my favourite holiday place plan to go back in September if I save up. Have they told you what type of operation you will need yet. Trust me as horrible as it seems, anythings better than being stuck in the loo all day or being caught short in a crowded place. You get a bit of control back in your life. Any question, no matter how horrible it may sound, just ask cos I'm sure if I've not been thru it one of these lovely people on this site will have been. I wasn't able to ask about anything before my op cos it was done quickly so I've had t learn it all using the internet. Although I love my family, they really don't want to discuss my toilet needs with me nor I with them.xc

Hi he said a permanent colostomy should be in june some time as I have to wait 6 weeks between aesthetics as had rest of my adenoids removed and my turbines trimmed by a quarter and lining cleaned up

Hi Neil welcome to the site you will find good people here with lots of very good advice. Bet your a worried about what's going to happen. I had my permanent colostomy Nov 10, and its been a strange journey but have had good help from the site and learnt a lot. Don't forget you should have a 'specialist' ostomy nurse who will guide you through the whole thing and be on hand when you need her or him. As regards to your worry of big poo's, as weeingy said it doesn't work like that. Best advice is to eat little amounts and often, watch the portion sizes, plenty of fluid is very important and also chew your food a lot and eat slowly. Keep away from food that causes gas as this can cause some amazing effects. I keep off fizzy drinks too. Its a slow learning curve but you will find out what's good for you as everyone is different. Good luck Trudel

Many thanks for the great advice I feel more better about it as there are great advice and great people to talk to and for support all the way as people havehad different experience in all manner I greatful this site is hear I have learned more in hear than anyone has told me

My son is 9,and poo is a great talking point in our house because he has never used the toilet or farted. At 2mths he was constipated tbey said he was lazy, we changed formula 7 diff timez.specialist wouldnt listen. So at 4mths and I was fed up. I gave him a bottle of prune juice and nothing came out. At 5 ytz yhey started

5yrs they started to listen,did a biopsy and he has no nerves in large intestine.so they put in a colostomy but it didn't work. So 6mths later they did an illeostomy.the poo is or was runny and but he had diff size poo. To b continued
