It is _really_ difficult to find anything to eat with no fat in it. Seriously. And, unfortunately, fat is much of what prevents me from constantly feeling hungry (something I already knew).

Today's appointment indicated that I need to take care of fairly nasty constipation, first, and because of the long weekend, I won't be able to see the doctor again until Tuesday. In the meantime, anyone who sees me ought to expect me to be complaining about being fucking _HUNGRY_. (but if it's that or severe pain, I'll take the hungry) And this time, I will at least know that I need to not eat for 8 hours before the appointment, so an ultrasound of my gallbladder is possible.

And tonight, I go shopping to see what else I can find that is no fat, reasonably tasty, and might at least help prevent me from my current state of intense boredom with my available food options. (yes, I really do need no fat; oatmeal is fairly low fat, and made last night quite unpleasant)

Goddamn evil body.

Have you pondered trying out the Shangri La diet (http://www.diet-blog.com/archives/2006/04/10/the_shangri_la_diet.php)? I mention it because one of its functions is to make you less hungry so you eat less, which implies it would make you feel less hungry even when not eating as much. Although you're specifically talking about needing fat, but maybe its body-hack would also help deal with that. Then again I don't know how long until you can eat regular food (because the problem will have been fixed), or how long it takes for the less-hungry to kick in.

I don't know how long this will be an issue, either, largely because I don't know if I will actually get a dignosis on Tuesday, nor how long it takes to get into surgery for gallstones. I do suspect, however, that it won't be long enough for that to be useful.

But thanks for the thought!
