And.....my, "Crap, well that really Sucks" factor is even worse. I am in month 3, the final month of my "Pre-Surgery weight loss goal" that I am suppose to achieve prior to my "planned" surgery in Jan. My Doctor had set a "Pre-Surgery weight loss goal" of -14 lbs before my final weigh in on 12/18. You know, shrink my liver and all that...lol. So far, I've done about 6. In order for me to lose anything I have to go in to the almost complete starvation mode and only have about 100 calories a day, 1 protein shake. If I go up to 200-300, I cant lose weight, if I go over 800, I gain weight, so...the Holidays so far has sucked for me! BUT...I'm NOT going to give them any reason to say I didn't do what I was suppose to. On thanksgiving, I did have some Turkey though and some green beans...AND 1 pretty big piece of homemade pecan pie with vanilla ice cream on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I only eat that once or twice a year anyway, but it is like being in Heaven, especially this year...So....I gave myself that and have YET to get back on the scale! Probably gained the 6 lbs back from the 6 oz piece of pie I had!
