Gibby was putting on a show 😂😂😂❤❤

I have a permanent Ostomy. I always enjoy hearing how people transition to the j-pouch though. Super happy for you! Enjoy watching the milestones that you go through 😊❤

[@joanbeach644]

I have to say I really admire you. You keep going no matter what. I would probably never go out. Stay well. ❤

Gibbbyyyyyy!!! ❤

Checking in after a time. Happy to see you smiling and love your determination❤️. My feet peeled horribly after my last chemo. Scared me. It was disgusting. I bought some O’Keffe’s Heel Cream and kept socks on. Then my hands peeled but not as bad. And the neuropathy has been the biggest challenge months later. For me, my feet are the worse but my left is worse than my right. Then my hands. Left being worse than the right. Thanks for sharing your story. I’m certain it’s helpful to many. 🥰

never give up ❤❤

Do you keep a food and 💩 diary so you know what’s happening when and why xx your poor feet. Aveeno do a great foot mask that is really nice. Bepanthen also great for cracked feet. Your anxiety management strategies are amazing. Thanks for sharing so much xxxx

[@laura-jeanbainbridge543]

I don’t keep a food diary right now but I’m pretty mindful. Thanks for the recs x

[@mpcasey]

So glad that you can eat the food that gives you the most joy again! And agreed - Alfonso mangos are far and away the best mangos in North America.

[@lizgreen910]

So great to see you enjoy food again. You have come such a long way.! I admire you so much, hope the time passes quickly and you can go on your honeymoon.❣️

Also for the next time you make it to trader Joe's their hyaluronic acid serum and oils (and supposedly their night cream but I have not tried it personally) are excellent and generally very affordable. I was pleasantly surprised!

You mentioned bidet a couple of times. I'm having ileostomy reversal surgery in about a month, so am wondering if I should get something like that ahead of time. What would you recommend? I can't wait to eat more fruits and veggies! I have missed that so much. Love seeing your healthy meals. So happy you are doing well.

[@laura-jeanbainbridge543]

That’s exciting! I just got one off Amazon that my husband connected to the toilet. There are also hand held ones. However the others are super affordable, I just read the reviews. Thanks gal, can’t wait for that for you!

[@karynmeyer2429]

Sorry you’re still dealing with neuropathy. I have never been diagnosed with GI issue but for years due to sudden urgencies, always knew where all the bathrooms were in areas I frequented . Where I live, unfortunately, walking to errands isn’t reality (very envious of you living in Vancouver). I could always count on hotels having public bathrooms in their lobbies. I do sympathize with you trying to stay calm when walking about. It can turn into a vicious circle.

[@marciaogden7273]

Laura you are so honest and real. Hope each day finds you a little bit stronger. Sending prayers and hugs from Houston. 🙏❤️🙏❤️

[@alinafakin370]

That coffee machine of yours....mmm...the coffee looks delicious. Would you tell us the brand details, pls? I'm right in the process of looking for a good machine. I trust you're happy with this one. Thanks! Good to hear your progressively able to add more foods to your menu :=)

[@laura-jeanbainbridge543]

Mine is breville and I loooove it! It’s the BES870XL x

[@tamunagegiadze6594]

Dear Laura I think that you need more time to fully recover and to walk longer distances, it's ok not to be able to do that, just give your body some time to fully recover 🥰 for your cracked feet, you may try pedicure at salon, they have special machines, I think that'll help you, you may use special creme for heels, that always helps 🥰🥰

[@lauraelise5095]

What rice crispy recipe do you like to use? Xx

[@laura-jeanbainbridge543]

I totally just made it up as I went haha sorry. X

[@mariasullivan577]

Do any nutritionists or dieticians recommend intermittent fasting after this type of surgery?

[@laura-jeanbainbridge543]

Haven’t had much of a conversation about it with the dietitian specifically but I feel confident with my choices.

[@kdyooper28]

I don’t know if it’s available in your country but my husband with Crohns obtained a card that he’s able to show to be expedited to a bathroom no matter where he is. (Actually showed in it court and got out of a speeding ticket: he was speeding 🙄😵‍💫😡=I tell the truth)

[@laura-jeanbainbridge543]

I had one of those for my colitis, that’s a good idea :)

[@bobbieditcharo-roland608]

You are so pretty. I really admire you. Glad you are doing well.
