It’s Friday! And this is what an ostomy bag looks like it’s easy to hide and a lot of people have no idea that I have it but it’s always there doing its little thing sharing this raw, taken in the bathroom at work pic because a 10 year old boy committed suicide this week after his classmates wouldn’t stop bullying him about his bag....this little harmless thing that’s basically just a sticker on my stomach. Now isn’t the time to go into details of my story, but it’s important to know that anyone with a bag on their stomach basically was given the choice to take the bag or die, and no one should be bullied for choosing life. Feeling extra grateful for all the support I’ve had with my journey so far and going to try to demonstrate more kindness and empathy for things I don’t understand. ✨ happy to answer any questions about life with an ostomy

Still have a long way to go but this morning I did my core engagement exercises - tummy tightening, pelvic tilt, knee rolls and glute bridges! I was feeling good so added in some bodyweight squats, squat pluses and donkeykickbacks with some extra resistance with a band My legs, glutes and core muscles were burning but I managed to complete 3 rounds of 12-15 reps each exercise! Not bad for 3 weeks post surgery... next week I aim to head back to the gym to incorporate light weights.. time to wake these muscles back up!! #smallwins #progression

#tbt to the time when my ostomy bag exploded as I was going through TSA and I had to change my bag in the airport bathroom (swipe to see a pic of my small intestine, avoid the last pic if you don’t!) can’t believe how far I’ve come! Even when you’re feeling low, look back at where you started and feel proud for all you’ve accomplished!!! I used to always get stopped for a pat down bc of this lil guy! My favorite thing to do when going through TSA was to show my pouch to the security guards before they could start the pat down and announce ITS AN OSTOMY BAG and watch them be flustered! Sorry I guess I’m just a bully at heart!

~Today marks one week since my reversal~ • • Hopefully today is the last day I have to wear my PICO machine off to see my surgeon for post op check up and bandage change today ☺️ • • I am going a lot better then I had set in my mind before surgery although still swollen and a bit sorethat should all go down with time. Each day I am getting use to my body’s new plumbing system which is so bizarre and incredible to be able to use again after 15 months of being out of order. • • #ulcerativecolitisfighter #ileostomybag #stoma #ileostomy #jpouch #shithappens #surgery

Det eneste positive ved at være syg, er at man får et netværk med en masse andre fantastiske kvinder og mænd der sidder i samme situtation som en selv og ved 110% hvad man snakker om.. og i dag fik jeg til sendt det her billede af en af dem, smukke Sofia. ❤️ Da jeg efter store overvejelser har jeg i dag valgt at tag orlov fra mit studie på sygeplejestudiet og går på orlov fra dags dato. :( De seneste par måneder har været en kamp både psykisk og fysisk og jeg har levet bag en facade i den tro om at godt kunne klare det, men nu har min krop sagt stop. Nætter uden søvn, en krop der køre på pumperne for at kunne hænge sammen, blod % og jern der er i bund og en betændelse tilstand der er blevet mere aktiv i min J-pouch. :( Jeg er igen kommet på nyt medicin og hvis det ikke virker, skal jeg igennem en biologisk medicinsk behandling på sygehuset og i sidste ende kan det ende ud i operation af min tarm, hvilket også ligger til grundlag for mit valg. Mine helbredsmæssige årsager har igen været skyld at min indsats ren fagligt og mentalt har været dårlig, da selve min koncentrationsevne har været elendig, konstant træt og tænkt på andre ting end hvad der var vigtigst for min uddannelse. Jeg vil være en god sygeplejerske og som det ser ud nu kommer det ikke til at ske, når min krop ikke kan følge med længere. Skal jeg kunne passe syge patienter er jeg først og fremmest nødt til at passe på mig selv. Sommetider går tingene ikke som man forventede og for mig er det et kæmpe nederlag igen at skulle overgive mig for sygdom og den uvished om hvad der skal ske i fremtiden. Sygeplejerske skal jeg nok blive, det kommer bare til at tag lidt længere tid, men med en erfaring rigere på hvad det vil sige at være patient og en krop der forhåbentlig er blevet stærkere til den tid. <3 #kronisk #jpouch #sygeplejerskestuderende #nurse #kæmper #fighter #vejle #denmark #danmark #dk

What I've learnt from living with a chronic illness is the importance of being patient. Of course I'm eager to get back, of course I'm eager to 'do more' everyday that passes but it doesn't always work like that.. giving my body the time it needs to heal is the main goal right now. I've lost weight, I've lost muscle. A couple years ago this would have made me self conscious, worry about what others would think when they saw me looking 'weak' but really this is when I'm at my strongest.. the battle with your mind is the biggest battle you'll ever face. It's time to strip yourself back to the core and face your real self because you're the only person that can work it out. Your physicality can be taken away from you at any point so whilst your working on getting bigger delts, bigger glutes.. bigger lifts don’t ever forget to build callouses on your mind.....for when the body inevitably fails at nature’s hand...whether it’s now or in 50 years...you’re going to need to be more than your physique, fitness levels or strength. #strongmind #stronglife #mondaymotivation

Woohoo!! Guess who's getting her jpouch ‍♀️ I'm finally on the waiting list for the first of two major surgeries. Yep, it's pretty crazy to be so excited about a surgery that's probably going to give me some of the roughest days of my life, a surgery that could affect my fertility and a surgery that is never going to bring me back to where am I now! But life is too short for what ifs, so I'm doing what's right for me now with the full support of my amazing husband! Yeh, we want kids more than anything and have done for a while but what will be will be. For all we know, we are already infertile (him or me) and we are more than prepared to explore other options to have a family one day! #jpouch #nextsteps #crohnsandcolitis #ibd #ibdawareness #boweldisease #ileostomy #ostomate #ostomy #pouchsurgery #uc #stmarkshospital
