I'm not quite sure how to word this but here goes: when I first came home after having my colonostomy, my output was more like a regular bm. Now it's almost 6 months later and it's much softer than before. I'm trying to lose weight prior to my reversal and am eating a lot of fruit and vegetables. Since thats the only thing thats changed in the last 2 weeks, I guess that's the problem. Has anyone else experienced this, if so, what did you do. Between the stoma, a problem at the incision area below the naval that's still not healed, a hernia, I'm almost looking forward to the reversal, but wonder what pandora's box will have in store for me.

If all the fiber in the fruit is loosening you up, how about balancing it with a clogger like cheese? Maybe that's why european diets have fruit & cheese together?
