My situation was a little different because my "ostomy" was created by my body, not a surgeon. A fistula opened up my surgery incision so my small intestine was sticking out from the 5 inch long hole in my belly. I didn't have the nice stoma poking thru a small hole in the belly. Mine was poking through the stomach wall and the whole 5 inch long, inch deep hole was filled with poo. Had to use a wound bag instead of an ostomy bag. Left the skin raw. Had to wait 6 months for the surgery to fix it because I was on chemo. Fast forward to April 2025. They opened me up with a different incision. 1st day after, I had diarrhea. 2nd day urgency but firmer. After that I went home 4th day. Original surgery site was stapled shut in the middle but was left open to heal from inside outward. I was told I could eat whatever I normally ate. Never had any issues. (I'm knocking on wood. I don't want to jinx myself.) Anyway, I think you won't leave any problems if you just take it slow. Chew well and don't overeat.
