Day 1 Sept 22, 2019

[Tobychat]

I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis back in May, spent 2 weeks in the hospital, almost lost my colon, and lost 23lbs in 2 weeks. Fast forward to today and I am healthy, but have gained over 40lbs. I exercise almost every day and try to eat healthy but I can’t seem to get my weight back down to where I was before my flare up. I know the medications (including steroids for 4 months) have thrown my metabolism and hormones out of whack so I am hoping these next 30 days will bring everything back in balance. I am a vegetarian so I am nervous about the protein options (or lack there of!), but am willing to try. I am excited to feel normal again!
