I'm hungry!: Surprise Surgery! Part 3
http://lizwantscookies.blogspot.com/2015/06/suprise-surgery-part-3.html
I'm always hungry. sometimes for life, mostly for cookies. Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Recovery from my total colectomy and adjusting to using an ostomy has been a challenge both physically and mentally, but I think I've made tremendous progress in the past week. I didn't know how to take care of my ostomy yet, and I started to feel like they were pushing me out the door without adequate training! I was still struggling with the abdominal soreness and bloating, but was also having regular difficulty with n...

I'm hungry!: August 2014
http://lizwantscookies.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
I'm always hungry. sometimes for life, mostly for cookies. Sunday, August 31, 2014. I had a baby! I have two children under 2! My daughter is now 22 months old, and my teeny tiny baby boy who arrive a scary 5 weeks early is already 2 months old! Life is hectic, my children are wonderful and impossible at the same time, I'm sooooo tired, and so full of mommy guilt. I want to give all or my attention to each of them! Needless to say, I don't have much free time. Occasionally I manage to make some dinner.

I'm hungry!: Bag O' Poop
http://lizwantscookies.blogspot.com/2015/07/bag-o-poop.html
I'm always hungry. sometimes for life, mostly for cookies. Thursday, July 2, 2015. I can't get away from it. There's a bag of poop attached to me. always. I'm not grossed out or embarrassed by the ileostomy itself. but there's the poop! I feel so dirty! No, I don't smell bad. Thankfully, science has come a long way and that's not an issue. But it's there. following me around. I don't know if I can get used to this! July 3, 2015 at 4:09 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Recovery from my total colect...

I'm hungry!: March 2015
http://lizwantscookies.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
I'm always hungry. sometimes for life, mostly for cookies. Thursday, March 26, 2015. I've survived 90 days. I apparently have pretty awesome will power. I lost a lot of weight (too fast), and have stabilized at a pretty good weight for my size, hooray! I'm a lot less bloated than I used to be. I'm eating a lot less sugar and hardly any chemicals. I like knowing that I might have taken a major step toward healing my body, even if I can't see it yet. So, so many of the recipes recommended for this diet inc...

http://lizwantscookies.blogspot.com/2015/07/im-inflating.html
I'm always hungry. sometimes for life, mostly for cookies. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. I've gained 15 pounds, woohoo! I'm feeling great most of the time, and although I'm still not strong enough to hold the kids for too long or too often, I'm feeling ALMOST NORMAL! I haven't been able to say that in several years! But I'm still so tired.oh wait, that's because I have 2 kids. No more excuses! That's how it feels when I try to run or jump. Or do a 1990's TaeBo VHS (which, by the way, is really hard! But I thin...

I'm hungry!: I'm Eating!
http://lizwantscookies.blogspot.com/2015/07/im-eating.html
I'm always hungry. sometimes for life, mostly for cookies. Wednesday, July 15, 2015. The most common question I get these days is "what are you eating? I'm eating almost normally! I'm kind of binge-ing on junk (can of frosting and a spoon anyone? Because a.) I can, b.) I needed to gain weight and c.) I can. but I'm trying to reign it so that I don't get diabetes now that I'm "healthy", hah. Also, I don't want to go back to being pudgy just yet. I've already regained 10 pounds! I'm up to 120, hooray!

http://lizwantscookies.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
I'm always hungry. sometimes for life, mostly for cookies. Tuesday, February 24, 2015. This was one intense virus! I couldn't function for nearly 3 days! I'm talking in bed asleep for more than 2 full days. No reading, no TV, no Ipad. asleep. I'm finally feeling like myself again, except for the fact that I can't hear out of one ear and I have an awful cough. But I survived! Thank goodness for my wonderful husband, he took the week off to take care of me and our children once he had recovered! Yesterday ...

I'm hungry!: Ulcerative Colitis
http://lizwantscookies.blogspot.com/p/ulcerative-colitis.html
I'm always hungry. sometimes for life, mostly for cookies. In March of 2012 I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. I've written at length about my recent experience in the hospital, my surgery, and my recovery:. I now (Summer 2015) have an ileostomy. That has given me back my freedom (I am no longer chained to the toilet! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Well, what an adventure I am on! I was feeling pretty great back in April, but throughout May and into early June things started going dow. Jack at 22 Mont...

I'm hungry!: January 2015
http://lizwantscookies.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
I'm always hungry. sometimes for life, mostly for cookies. Sunday, January 25, 2015. I feel like I'm not making any progress. I had a hard week, and I was hoping for a speedier recovery. I need to remember that I've still come a long way, even with this weeks setback - maintaining perspective is important! I need to be patient! I've survived 30 days on this diet as of today! I've added bananas (uncertain whether I can handle them - too much sugar? I've added yellow summer squash (hooray less boring soup!
