Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Good Morning all!!! Well, I have been taking a water pill since last Sunday due to swelling and guess what..they work! The doctors have still not determined what is causing the swelling, the cardiologist said that I should jus****ch my salt intake..... If we have any new developments, I will let you konw. I have two more appts this week. Here are my stats for this week: HW 327 SW 322 LW 171 CW 163.2

Hey Steph- that's good news!!! I am up another pound which puts me at a pound above my highest window- so it's d-day here. 136 doesn't look that bad- but it sure looked better over 10 pounds ago in the other direction. Crappy choices and have got food in the house that I shouldn't- it's leaving... Good week to everyone... Holly

I feel you on the crappy choices! It so hard to get back on the healthy eating wagon..but we will!! I am just tripping on how much water I am retaining and all they are saying is to limit my salt...I don't think I eat enough salt to put on 10-15 pounds of water weight....that is weird....but we will see. I don't normally cook with salt or eat out a lot so I don't know what else to do...but I will monitor my salt more closely and see what I can get from that. Thanks hope you have a good week too!

Good morning all! I went to the endocrinologist on Friday and was diagnosed with post-meal hypo glycemia. I think that is how you spell it. I can not tolerate, actually my system can not tolerate sugar. Regular sugar. When ever I have anything with high sugar, my sugar increases to 200 plus, then in a matter of 15-30 minutes later it drops to 40. My pancreas is over reacting to the sugar and producing too much insulin! He says that some people are prone to this and some people are not. I am one that is! I have to eliminate sugar from my food intake or if there is sugar in there, I need to have fiber to go along with it to absorb it before it gets to my intestines! Here are my stats: I am down too Steph, congratulations honey on your loss as well. HW 280's SW: 267 LW: 166 CW: 161.8

Wow Laura! That sounds scary!! You are off sugar and I am off salt! lol But we are both down so WOOHOO!! Congrats on your loss too!

wow Steph - that's great news. Gosh, you must feel so much better. Did you pee all of that out? lol! What's the name of the water pill you're taking? I feel so bloated. I'm up to 124. I know that doesn't sound like a lot but it seems 122 then 123 now this. I just don't want to keep getting higher and higher. I haven't been exercising as much as I used too ( I was a bit neurotic before my PS) and I haven't been drinking as much water as I should. Plus, I started yesterday. But usually by day 2 or 3 all I do is pee and lose a couple of pounds. Not the case today. Maybe tomorrow? Have a great week everyone!

Hi Janie, I actually don't feel like I go to the bathroom anymore than normal...but I sweat more....how weird is that? I think I sweated all the excess water out! When I work out now, I sweat so much that its crazy...I hardly used to sweat at all....and then when I go to sleep, I will wake up drenched in sweat even though my air conditioner is running and its cool in the house. When I get out of the bed I have to turn to air off before I get moving around and shower. And I think with you just starting that is probably where that extra pound came from. The water pills I am taking are prescription from my internal medicine doctor...its called Maxzide-25 Mg tablet Ber

Hey all, I am really late in posting due to my PS. Here are my stats and don't worry I am not freaking out because I know the gain is from the PS and swelling. It is slowly going down. HW 270 SW 255 LW 142 CW 155 A 13 lb gain due to swelling and all the fluid they pumped into me. My surgeon said that he removed 5lbs. So once all this fluid gets out of my system then I am hoping for 132-135.
