Feeling a little better today.<br />
<br />
I remembered today that with my old stomach I got crazy hungry. Feel sick hungry. I don't get hungry at all now. If you had told me that I would be satisfied with 1/2 cup of food, I would have hit you with a stick.<br />
<br />
It's true, I am satisfied. Sure, it will be nice to get back on normal food which will happen the end of June, but it will be take portion control and calorie control. I am determined to do this program and get healthy. Getting a new hip is my motivation. Having emery and being able to get around without a walker will be a true miracle.<br />

I've had a couple of rough days. On Monday I needed to vacate my apartment and went to my sisters. I live in Federal Way and she lives in Northgate. By the time I got there I was in pain and stayed that way. My sister is a retired RN and she got to telll me I told you so. She said I just had major surgery and it takes a lot of out you. Now I believe her. I had to come home the next day because I had an early morning Dr appt. I just don't feel one bit good. <br />
<br />
I really hope I wake up tomorrow feeling better. The doctor told me to move around more and if I feel better I will do just that.<br />
<br />
I'm still having visions of my old eating habits and thoughts. I'm sure that is going to take a long while. I just keep thinking "New Hip, New Hip!".<br />
<br />
I'm signing off, don't feel good enough to write any more.<br />

I have jumped into the deep-end by having gastric by-pass surgery. I need a new hip and the doctors won't give me one until I loose 80 pounds.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had my surgery on May 14th and it went well. The recovery has been somewhat rough. I am blessed because I have not had any complications. My family and friends have been very supportive.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today, I came face to face with my addictions to food and to eating. I felt buyer's remorse. If I wanted to have a plate of one of my favorite dishes, I do not have anywhere to put it. My old stomach is no more and my new little one is still very tender and healing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I realized today that eating and my attachment to food has not only been a comfort, but my entertainment as well. The problem was that the comfort was temporary and had to be repeated over and over again. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What I really want is a new hip to be mobile again, I want to feel the bottom of my feet as normal, I want my Type 2 diabetes gone, I want my lymphademia gone and a quality to life without all these issues. I live alone and spend a lot of time by myself. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love the out of doors, gardening, hiking, swimming, walking my dog which I have not been able to do for a long time. I hate feeling lethargic, bloated, out-of-sorts with my self. Which is how I feel.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I also love to do photography, paint, crafts, sew and many other pursuits. My lack of energy does not allow for a constant flow of creativity. Creativity is the breath of my existence.</div>
<div>
\</div>
<div>
I believe I am an eternal being having a human experience, however, my human experience is in charge of my experience. I know all that can be changed and I am in the perfect place with all the perfect support (both heavenly and human) and resources to correct this error. </div>
