I finally saw a good surgeon and surgery is Feb. 15. I'm supposed to keep up with the sort-of nausea/pain controlling diet I've been on for 2 months and since that is carb upon carb I can just hope to not gain more weight.

I don't care so much as I want my gall bladder out but the weight loss hiatus is frustrating. I pass days that I know would be "permission to cheat" days, like my birthday this week, and instead I eat another Jello cup.

But at least I have Jello cups and crackers and ginger ale.
