Getting back into exercise after stoma surgery can feel daunting, and that's completely understandable 💙

There's no rush. Gentle activities like walking are a good place to start, and your healthcare team can advise on when to do more. Focus on breathing techniques as per the Breathing and Movements guide. If you notice any pain or discomfort around your stoma, stop and seek advice.

"Acceptance doesn't have a deadline." 💙

Following on from Stoma Aware Day, we're keeping this conversation going.

You don't have to love your stoma straight away. You're allowed to grieve what you had before, to feel angry, and to struggle. Surgery can save your life, and adjusting to it can still be hard. Both can be true.

However long it takes, you're not doing it alone. 💬 If this sounds familiar, share it with someone who might need to hear this today.
