#ostomy

[crippl-hacker]

My J-pouch was so bad for me. My nausea from my J-pouch was so bad I was eating 900 calories a day and I now have muscle wastage in my legs as a result. With my stoma I’m hungry all the time now! I’m down to eat! My stoma has been such a great benefit for me.

BOOKS: Freya (Sh!t Bag by Xena Knox) - Ostomy Bag

SH!T BAG is a dark humour, disability-positive YA about a feisty, sporty, sixteen-year-old girl called Freya who wakes up in hospital with a poo bag (aka an ileostomy) and has to learn to live with it and her new nickname Sh!t Bag.

When her dreams of the perfect summer partying in the Algarve go down the toilet, she's packed off to 'Poo Camp' - a place for kids with bowel disease to 'bond'.

Disabled folks eating instant mashed potatoes:

If you can't have potato skins and/or chunks, check your packaging! My most recent ones suddenly have skins and chunks!

I first noticed it in step three of my Idahoan buttery golden selects — "cover and let stand 5 minutes. Stir well and enjoy the unique homestyle texture of potato pieces and peels"

Some of the skins are big enough to cause problems with ostomies, but not many. They're difficult-to-impossible to see before going into your mouth.

The chunks are small and can technically be swallowed whole, but not easily. And they're not easy to chew, they're a bit tough.

It just dawned on me to look up where my ostomy pouches are manufactured because it hit me tariffs will apply to medical supplies too. Fun. 🫠🙃

And they were so kind to include a touching tribute to my mama 🥹🥰

Be sure to check them out to get your copy and thank you again Ostomy Canada Society for the incredible honor!

Okay. If you're disabled. Block this person. Just do it. If you're trans. Block this person. Literally just save yourself the issue.

They are 100% not good for you.

Just a few screen caps that made me NOPE 🙅‍♂️ so hard.

If you jive with this, do me a favor and block me. Because we are NOT the same.

Absolutely wackado shit i cannot fuck with.

The hospital food is actually pretty good!

I’m planning on working my way through the menu and figuring out which is best! They also have a dessert menu and I’m trying to decide whether ordering chocolate cake would be a bad idea with my new ostomy.

Self projecting at its finest

Just changed my ostomy bag for what's hopefully the last time!

Okay so yknow how sometimes when you talk you fuse the words stomach and tummy together and you end up saying stummy?

And some people use an ostomy bag?

That is their stummy, thank you goodnight

Hey it's World IBD Day today, and it would be a poor show for me not to mark it.

I've had a stoma now for 8 years, and this particular fashioning for 5. It's taken me a long time to be comfortable showing this much of myself but I owe it all to the kind words people on Tumblr have said.

It’s Ostomy Awareness Day!

With UOAA’s help, we were able to get Oklahoma’s Governor to sign the proclamation! We didn’t succeed last year so I requested it from the OKC Mayor too.

Ostomies truly are lifesaving and can greatly improve quality of life for a lot of people.

I didn’t cope well with mine at all but mama ands grandpa modeled for healthy coping and how full their lives were. Mama definitely inherited grandpa’s approach to living life to the fullest and acceptance of their health.
