        I've been there, and I really liked that phase of weight loss--it was almost like it was a secret and I was doing this great thing just for myself, you know? Like an inventor with a great new creation they're still working on in their basement. A labor of love.

                  That's fabulous! I would probably be pissed that I hadn't changed a size though. I always end up wearing the same old baggy stuff when I'm dieting because I can't stand pulling on things that are still form fitting after so much hard work.

                  How are you managing? Still inspired?

                    Thanks everyone!

                    Pissed? Ya think? The clothes aren't even loose on me yet, so I have no idea where I am losing from. My toes? It's retarded to say the least.

                    Inspired? I wouldn't say that! I am in a major funk right now, and I want to eat everything in sight. Lovely little miracle though - I can't!

                            Thanks everyone! I am up to a total of 34 pounds. How, in such a short time do you ask? I can't eat anything. I finally am restricted enough from my surgery, that I can barely eat. I am eating about 1/4 cup (tops) of food at a time right now, 5-6 times a day. I cannot physically eat any more food than that. So, for the first time since my surgery, I am feeling how I should be as far as physically restricted. This all started on the 30th of August when I had my latest fill up. So, it has been one week, and I have lost 4.5 pounds.

                            I still have a very long way to go, and I am incredibly grouchy. I like to eat. I have a lot of stress in my life right now, and nothing feeds my stress and my soul like a dozen cookies or a big plate of pasta. I couldn't eat half a cookie right now.

                            I did have two bites of brownie on Sunday. That was all I could eat! The trade off is, I am WAY more bitchy than usual. Also, I am having severe caffeine headaches! I miss Coke.
