As the new year approaches, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how to improve your quality of life while living with an ostomy. Setting resolutions that prioritize comfort, confidence, and health can help you step into 2025 feeling empowered and ready to embrace every opportunity. At Fortis Medical Products, we’re here to support you with reliable solutions like Entrust Stoma Paste to make these resolutions a reality.

Here are some ostomy-friendly resolutions to set yourself up for success in 2025:

1. Commit to Routine Ostomy Care

Consistency is key to managing your ostomy comfortably. Establishing a solid care routine will minimize discomfort, reduce leaks, and give you peace of mind. Try setting reminders for:

• Regular pouch changes to maintain hygiene.
• Inspecting your stoma and surrounding skin for any irritation.
• Using quality products like Entrust Stoma Paste to ensure a snug and secure fit, reducing leaks and protecting sensitive skin.

Small changes to your daily care routine can make a big difference over time.

2. Focus on Balanced Nutrition

Nutrition plays a significant role in how you feel with an ostomy. Make a resolution to:

• Incorporate foods that support your digestion while avoiding triggers.
• Stay hydrated to keep your body functioning at its best.
• Experiment with new recipes tailored to your dietary needs.

A food diary can help track what works best for your body and keep you energized for the year ahead.

3. Stay Active and Boost Confidence

Physical activity is a great way to improve your overall health, mood, and self-confidence. Whether it’s walking, swimming, yoga, or a new fitness class, make movement a regular part of your week. Wear an ostomy support belt or pouch cover to feel more secure during activities.

Exercise doesn’t just benefit your body—it also empowers you to feel strong and capable.

4. Prioritize Self-Care and Mental Health

Living with an ostomy can come with challenges, so prioritizing self-care is essential.

• Join an online or in-person ostomy support group to connect with others who understand your journey.
• Practice mindfulness, meditation, or journaling to reduce stress.
• Treat yourself to products that improve your comfort and confidence designed for worry-free wear.

Caring for your emotional well-being is just as important as physical care.

5. Try New Things and Embrace Positivity

Let 2025 be the year you step out of your comfort zone. Whether it’s traveling, trying a new hobby, or setting personal goals, don’t let your ostomy hold you back. With the right mindset and trusted products, you can embrace life to the fullest.
