Failed Experimentation! :0(

Okay, I've been away a while.....partially because I have been working my keister off (again) and partially because I was in denial. I am very sad and a little depressed that my surgery really is JUST A FREAKIN' TOOL!!! I've been pushing the boundaries in my diet the past week and have only lost a pound. I guess I started a little subconscious experiment to see just how much I could eat and still lose. I've been nauseated no less than five times, but only lost a pound this week! I had hoped that my surgery would magically allow me to eat whatever the hell I wanted and still lose the way I did in the beginning. Oh well, back to the protein! I've been emotional snacking this week, a little stressed about money and the lack thereof.....but I can't complain too much. I have lost 48 pounds since March 14 (surgery day) and am down from a size 20-22 to a size 16! By the way....if anyone has any size 16 clothes for sale, I'd be interested! I miss my rapport with the folks on the board! Hopefully I can get to a meeting soon. Those Monday nights are hard, they are a very busy night in the ICU and it's hard for me to get off. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers! victoria
