Trim the Fat Thursday - Vol III

This past week has been a blur. Or maybe a haze would be a better explanation. As I am STILL dealing with kidney stone pain. And the knowledge that the side that is not bothering me - well it has three kidney stones just waiting to make their presence known. At some inoportune moment.

Most of my week has been spent sleeping. I don't know how Dr. House functions on his high doses of Vicodin. And solves all those medical mysteries. Because all I do is sleep. And apparently when one lives a sleepy life, the pounds just melt away. If only I could get rid of the pain. And keep the not ever hungry part. I am somewhat dreading the return to reality. When these 6 pounds that disappeared somehow manage to creep back. For now. I am just enjoying the one bright side of these mean, nasty, need to go away stones.

I was wondering if you'd lose a bunch of weight! yay! keep on keeping on! we're rooting for you and the Vicodin to prevail!

I hope that the weight doesn't come back:-)

It's like that line from The Devil Wears Prada: Just one stomach illness away from my ideal weight. Okay, maybe I'm more than one stomach illness away and that's a hard way to do it, but 6 pounds is pretty awesome.

Sorry you're still feeling rotten!

I remember a friend of mine once telling me that mono was the best diet she ever went on. But drink fluids - as many as you can. That will help keep your metabolism up when you're able to eat again. Good luck!

Normally I would be really happy about your 6 pounds saying buh bye but this time, it kinda sucks no?

I hope you feel better soon...

...and the 6 pound loss is followed by 10 more pounds minus the pain.

I'm so sorry that you're still feeling bad! Doesn't it suck that sickness is such a great weight loss scenario? I lost almost 10 lbs during my gallbladder episode in April and put it right back on in no time. Bleh. Hope you feel better soon and that the 6 lbs miraculously doesn't come back. :-)

Vicodin never does anything for me because they never issue me a high enough dosage. Now Norco, THAT is a high enough dose to knock me on my butt!

Always a silver lining, right?

Hope you feel better soon. And if you start running a temp, get to your doc right away. You don't want to mess with a kidney infection on top of having a stone.

You poor thing.
