Update on my Ulcerative Colitis:
Kate here, I posted a few months ago when I was lonely and depressed about my new diagnoses, and I’m posting again because I am once again depressed… But for a different reason. I have been able to eat anything I want because of the miracle that is Lialda, however, this has turned mile into an eating maniac.
I have been eating anything and everything I want now for 3 months and it’s been a god send. I gained back the 20 pounds I lost during my flare up, plus another 20 from gorging myself while on steroids. I’ve been off steroids for about a month now and my appetite has not let up. I still eat and am hungry constantly. I’m now 20 pounds over weight, and yes, this is also due to laziness on my part, but I don’t know how to make it stop. I’ve recently started to work out again and I have the energy and now looking at the scale, the drive, but I don’t have the will power to stop eating. I want to try appetite suppressants but I’m afraid of the side effects. I don’t want to be put on steroids and start this vicious circle over again.
Is anyone else having the same issues? If so, what are you doing to combat the hunger?
