10 lbs lighter!

I have just started the most incredibly effective diet ever! Its called stop eating for a week.

This is not Anorexia, but just your standard case of getting your tonsils removed & not wanting to eat because OH MY GOD THE PAIN. Thats right kids, who had ever thought that given enough pain, your desire to eat drops to nill. I am not even missing food at this point. It actually has been only 6 days since my surgery, and I am up to eating things that are smooth and as chewable as say "overcooked rice". I have been forcing myself to try to eat more now that I am able to, but you know what. I really dont want to eat.

Ok, so pain isn't everything. In addition to a tonsillectomy & uvuloplasty, my doctor performed a "turbine reduction" taking away little bits of my inside sinuses for better breating. On day six, this means that I am still stuffy in the nose. No matter what I eat (ice cream for example) its just a mushy tasteless pile of goo ( I might as well eat overcooked rice ).

I do wonder what the overall affect of this crash diet from hell will be. I am guessing I will gain almost half of it back once I start nourishing myself. I do like the idea that I am finally below 200 again; something that I haven't been able to do for six years.
