I was down to 83 pounds following ostomy surgery. It took a year to get above 100 pounds, and another year to get to 110 (a normal healthy weight for me).

It takes time. Eat things that are nutritious and that work with your ostomy. Liquid output will not help you recover. I ate a lot of foods with soluble fiber, which helps thicken things up.
