I had my bowel resection surgery yesterday evening! My surgeon was very happy with the results and told me that everything went super well. After the epidural I had wore off I was in some serious pain, but thankfully the nurses here gave me something stronger after Tylenol did nothing.
I was able to do a few laps around my hospital floor, and while I still feel pain right now it's pretty manageable, especially considering how much pain I was in before I was admitted. This doesn't come close to what I felt with my bowel obstruction back in March, and I just know remission is right around the corner! 💪✨️

I’ve been having serious gut trouble for a little over half a year. I got a colonoscopy done and the doctor was like “so we think you have Crohn’s but go ahead and go get some blood work and stool tests done”
Bro. Please, it’s bad enough I’ve had to embarrass myself by talking to y’all about all this, then to have butt exams, and a colonoscopy. I do not want to poop in a cup guys.

My Story May Be Your Story
I suffer from multiple Auto-Immune Illnesses; Crohn's, Celiac Disease, Scleroderma, vitiligo and Osteoarthritis and I am only 46 years old. These illnesses and my passion for understanding the "root" of my illnesses, not just what pills to pop to manage symptoms, lead me down a rabbit hole of research, which kept taking me to terms like "Gut Health", "Microbiomes", "Brain Fog" and "Chronic Inflammation" and "Weight Gain"; All of which I was experiencing. I also decided I would take this passion a bit further and have earned my Certifications as a Health Coach through #IIN (Institute of Integrative Nutrition". This was in 2021, and also the same year I birthed our 2nd miracle daughter.
If you have an Autoimmune illness (or a few) and become pregnant you may notice your symptoms often subside, Thank you surge of pregnancy hormones and baby! However, once baby is born, typically within 6-12 months our immune systems come back with a vengeance. My Ulcerative Colitis became Crohn's, my Vitiligo spread like wildfire under my arms and the trunk of my body and although I no longer had gestational diabetes, I had metabolic testing done and I was Insulin Resistant. Through the colonoscopy of tissue sampling and bloodwork it was discovered I also have Celiac disease.
I was put on Mesalamine for the Crohn's, removed Gluten from the diet and since my resting glucose was 137 and A1C was 5.8 I was placed on Mounjaro 2.5 dosage, weekly injections. This past month I had my labs repeated after 6 months and my Glucose is now 97 and A1C is 4.6! I am also down 20 pounds. In August I will be stopping the Mounjaro to see if I can maintain by a whole foods, veggies most diet with lean proteins and fiber filled carbs. I am a big water drinker, so that never has been a struggle.
At this point in my journey, I have educated myself, became certified as a health coach and basically through nutrition and of course Licensed Medical Doctor supervision, I have coached myself and proof the product works. Product, meaning myself, techniques and way I can help. Since I have spent the past 6 months focused on nutrition, and down 20 pounds, I am ready to incorporate daily movement, with a low-impact program.
Full disclosure - I had a L5-S1 spinal fusion in 2007 and after years of desk jobs, 2 pregnancy’s and always relying on the one sided "mom hip" to carry these toddlers around I am wrapping up Physical Therapy now and after a final evaluation next Tuesday, will be discharged from twice a week sessions. I was also directed to choose from Barre, Yoga, Pilates, Walking and swimming, to avoid the risk of future injury, yet be able to build strength, especially in my core (2 c-sections later).
The weather has broken here in Michigan, and I have intentionally begun to block 30 minutes out mid-day, to walk outside while listening to podcasts (typically when I get my daily dose of spirituality and gratitude in). After reviewing a streaming library of over 1000 at-home workouts, trust me when I say I drilled down that refined search, to only those programs that made sense for where I am at on this wellness journey. I have chosen a Barre program to start on May 1st. The program is 30 minute workouts Monday - Friday which gives me the weekends to just be MOM, play and be with the kids, resting & replenishing.
I wish to take my knowledge, education, experience and passion to empower women with Auto-Immune diseases feel their best through personalized wellness routines to meet their unique health goals. The first step will be for me to host a virtual community beginning in May. Maybe you desire nutrition only, or maybe a fitness program to meet you where you are, because you also have nutrition down to a science, there is not a one size fits all, and why I personalize the plans to set you up for success.
I am ready to elevate my own health journey & would like you to walk alongside me :-)

Happy Disability Pride Month! ❤️💛🤍💙💚
Good afternoon, my fellow chronic illness warriors! Your local ostomate is here to share a little synopsis of her disability journey. It's time to buckle up because we're about to get a little personal on main. My hope is that through sharing my story, it will let you know that you're not alone in this struggle.
I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease back in 2015, right before my 23rd birthday. I went from living as a relatively healthy college student to a chronically ill disabled gal who spent most of her days in the doctor's office. I've spent weeks of my life in the hospital since then and have had more scopes than I can count over the years. I had an ileostomy earlier this year, which was my first surgery for Crohn's. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared out of my mind when my surgeon brought up the possibility of having a stoma.
My ileostomy journey began when I ended up in the emergency room earlier this March with a bowel obstruction. I spent a week in the hospital and I was discharged with a PICC Line in my arm, unable to eat solid foods until my bowel resection. The NG tube was definitely the worst part of my hospital stay, so there was no way I was risking another obstruction before my surgery. Thankfully, I was able to make it to May without needing to go back to the ER.
My surgery went well, and I'm set to have my ileostomy reversed at the end of summer. It's been a weird, bumpy road filled with tons of potholes these past few years, but when you're chronically ill you are used to every day presenting you with new challenges.
I decided to include a purple background on the graphic I whipped up for this post to signify those who are living with autoimmune diseases. 💜
Also, for Disability Pride Month this year I wanted to ask anyone who may be new to this site and to those who may be returning after hiatus to please use Alt Text on your images whenever you post them! If you click the three dots on any image you upload, you'll be greeted with a drop-down list. If you click on "Update Image Description" you can write up a short blurb describing the image you just posted. This helps makes Tumblr more accessible to folks using screen readers.
I'm legally blind, but thankfully I can see well enough to read text on a computer screen thanks to my glasses. Some people aren't able to enjoy posts without a screen reader, so if you do anything for Disability Pride this July, please start adding Alt Text to your posts!
With your help we can make this little slice of the internet that much more accessible for our fellow Tumblrites!
