C'mon...gimme.

Well, my capsule endoscopy came out clean (with no Crohn's) so I went ahead with the surgery. However, when I had my reversal in March my recovery went well until I got my first bought of pouchitis. Since my reversal my ESR, Liver Enzymes, CMP, etc. are all over the place and now we're worried about full blown Crohn's or Liver damage. I even was in the hospital for a really bad puking episode and upper right quadrant pain. I manged to get myself so dehydrated that I was passing out and not even keeping the zofran down a few weeks ago. I haven't been able to go to the gym and do a full hour and a half workout. With the ostomy, I was biking about 8 miles a day.

I also have remicade induced skin issues. The studies think it's a form of eczema/psoriasis and it loves my butt cheeks and lady bits. I also have it on my hands and patches show up on my arms and legs from time to time. The skin issues showed up right around the time that Remicade stopped working (antibodies).

However, when I had my ielo. The skin issues went to my belly around my stoma and cleared up around my privates. So though it was there around my pouch, it was easier to take care of because the skin prep kept it dry. I had the change my bag a bit more often than needed (mostly because my skin would start to weep when I worked out) but overall not a big deal because my ass hole wasn't on fire.

I also liked that with the bag that I could sleep through the night and kinda ignore it on the weekends around the house. My stoma shrunk down really fast so I had to go in to my WCRN several times to get the right type of bag so there was some leakage the first few weeks but after that, I was golden. With the jpouch, I don't have a huge issue with urgency. However, there are certain foods that if I do eat/drink (like a beer at a party), I have to wear a diapper to bed because the is a 50/50% chance that I'll poop myself in the middle of the night. This could be nerve damage or just my pouch learning how to fart.

Since you're a fellow lady, you too will love the fact that you can wear maternity pants. My stoma was above my belly button, thanks in part to my steroid gutt. So maternity jeans allowed me to wear my skinny jeans that I love without issue. It was also super cushy at work because it felt like I was wearing sweat pants. Pregnancy Belly Bands are also awesome for making normal clothing work. I like them a lot more than the belts because it looked like a tank top under my clothes.

The negative is that I had to sometimes go up a shirt size to accommodate my ostomy but all and all not a bad deal. I did one thing though, I got myself a surgery present. I went to the outlets and bought myself a coach purse. This bag has the center zip pocket which was the absolutely perfect size for all of my ostomy supplies and it made me feel better to walk down the street and have a sexy looking purse! The one I linked isn't the same one but it's close enough.

The first two weeks post op are the suckest. You just went through a major surgery and while you're still on pain meds you're going to feel weak and even a bit dizzy. So do make sure that you rest up. It's a good thing that you have a home nurse to help you with your bag changes. You're belly is going to be swollen for a few weeks and until you can see you stoma underneath your boobs, it's like your a pregnant woman unable to see your own feet. Or maybe it's just me and my big boobs (I am a /r/ABraThatFits worshiper).

The hardest thing is finding out which ostomy appliance brand and skin prep works best for you. I do have to say it is worth investing in a good make up mirror the little one that they give you when you're sent home from the hospital is good for an emergency kit but not so much when you're standing in your bathroom learning how to do the changes.

I even had a little camping chair in my bathroom for when I wanted to air out my skin before I took a shower. Sat in the bathroom, watched some netflix and then hopped in the shower.

When it came to the gym, I started walking for a half hour about 4 weeks post op. When I was still at home on disability, I would walk up and down the block between episodes of Doctor Who (defiantly recommend getting into the show). At 12 weeks post op, I started to try to run again. It didn't work so well with me because of where my stoma was. So I switched to a trail stationary bike and started at 2 miles a day and walking to 8 miles a day (sometimes 10). I ended up loosing almost 30lbs before I had my take down.

I have this one :) https://www.amazon.com/Jerdon-JP910NB-Tabletop-Two-Sided-Magnification/dp/B001DKQ3O8/ref=sr_1_7_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1486267172&sr=8-7&keywords=magnifying%2Bmirror&th=1

This mirror by itself isn't that awesome, but if you change one letter, you get my first name. Pretty awesome, right?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! Thanks for the contest. I'd love this

time to end boredom

You don't necessarily need to hold the palette, obtain a Mirror that you can place on a desk/table/dresser, you can leave your palette lying on the desk/table/dresser surface so that you can apply your eyeshadow accordingly w/ a tissue to prevent fall out. Here's a tutorial that shows using a piece of Tissue... I hope this gives you a better idea! Good luck with your makeup journey !!! Remember to pat your shadow on and then later blend!!
