update on my angry post
well, it looks like they're not cancelling all funding for the bariatric program - right now they're trying to convince the powers that be to fully fund double the number of surgeries they said they'd fund...which will still leave a backlog, but no matter what kind of health care system you've got, there's ALWAYS more need than there is funding!
so, other than a bit of a delay caused by a few months of no surgeries the rest of this year, it looks like I'm still on track...I think!
fortunately, although it was tempting to give up in frustration and chow down on a bag of Doritos, I stayed under my calories (except for one night where I had a very indulgent dinner) and stuck to my plan. I guess all that therapy to combat emotional eating has been effective - if I was ever going to give up, this past 10 days would have been the time to do so, between this, my other health issues and some unpleasantness at work...
