How long the after effects last.

Today is January 26,2010, as of today I can't tell you how long they are going to last because they are still happening. I got my appetite back to where I can eat just about anything I want as long as I don't over do it. I try to eat healthier a lot of fruits and vegetables and I drink more milk and real juices when I can. I cook with extra virgin olive oil now instead of butter and margarine or any kind of oils, it really is better for your digestive system. I have learned how to control my bowels to a certain extinct, after I eat any meal, with 15 to 20 minutes I have to go to the bath room. Depending on what and how much I ate, determines how intense it's going to be(whether I make it to the bathroom before it's to late)I never really know until it happens. The muscles that I use to be able to control do their own thing. I don't go out to eat as often as I would like because I don't want to be embarrassed and don't want to embarrass anyone. My Lymphodema is about the same, some days I am stiffer than others, and weight gain does have a lot to do with how you are going to feel. I try to wear support hose more than I wear body suits, sometimes they (body suits) are to tight and very uncomfortable, especially if I have them on over 3 to 4 hours. All in all I am grateful and I thank God that my condition is as it is, because it could always be worst.
