Alright so I'm not an ostomy patient just a very concerned husband. My wife just had the surgery, emergent surgery, 3 weeks ago. Nothing we were really prepared for. She spent a month in the hospital before someone competent figured this out. Then a month recovery, 3 blood infusions, and a drainage from an abscess.
Anyways, she's lost between 30 and 40 lbs. And has no appetite. The smell of food makes her nauseous. If she is able to eat anything it's only a couple of bites. She's beyond depressed because she's positive she will never get her appetite back and waste away.
Any tips, tricks, advice I can get to help her regain the urge to eat or general timeline for wanting to eat or ANYTHING, would help greatly.
