Good News/Bad News from the Doc

Hi All
 If you have read a couple of my previous posts I have had a really rough week. Started
10 days ago thinking I had the flu then it turned into back trouble. Well finally went to
the Doc as the pain was out of control & miserable to say the least. I do have a kidney
infection which today is somewhat better. I am on antibiotics for that. but, the bad news
is I am diabetic again & have to go back on drugs to control that.
Which could be part
of the weight gain problems I have had.
 On the good side I quit taking the advil & took a diuretic last night & have  eliminated
4 lbs of water over night & was looking at 244 this a.m. from 248 yesterday. I was
shocked.
The Doc said the advil will cause the water retention along with the pain & infection.
Anyway back on new drugs today & hopefully to feeling lots better soon.
Hope you all have a good week.

Margo, how are you doing these days? How's Michael?

Oh Marilyn..Im sorry youve been having such a rough time lately...glad the doctor figured out what was going on and at least you can now mend. Try to take it easy and I hope you get to feeling better real soon.

Yup, this has not been a fun 2 weeks. The worst pain I have ever had including my RNY & Knee surgery. I am not a whimp when it comes to pain & this has been BAD.
At least I know it will be fixed eventually. I am doing better tonight the pain is down to a 5 instead of a 10+++.
It  also is most likely the wakeup call I needed to get my head out my A*** & back on a real program of eating & exercise.
I sure don't want to deal with this again.

gosh! Sorry to hear that Marilyn. You be careful of that advil. My surgeon was vehemently against it because it can cause those bleeding ulcers in the old stomach. glad you are off of it :)  Hang in there... never give up on the weight loss. I've been stuck stuck stuck but havent tried hard enough and know it. I have GOT to start working out. theres just no way around it anymore. I'm gonna start walking at home and get some work out gear and hit the gym here at work. Getting started is THE hardest part. im stuck at 230 right now and mad about it because I had gone down to 226 and back up to 230... but then again its time for my monthly so i know thats part of it. But still!!!! I'm not loosing. my fault entirely. We can do this Marilyn!!!!  hang in there! I'm going to work on cutting out all of my snacking and cut down on my dinner and lunch portions. and take a walk today with the kids today after dinner. If I can get out of work on time....  (hugs)

The very good news about all of this is you now know what is "broken" so you can concentrate on fixing it! Take care of that diabetes, it is a deadly silent killer. Take care, Marilyn

Hi Marilyn;

I'm sorry that you're having so many problems, but I'm glad that you went to the doctor to find out. Please stay on top of the diabetes.....it's very sneaky and very deadly. Take care and get better.

Thanks Mikey, Today is actually the first day in 2 weeks I have felt kinda normal (whatever normal might be. Hee Hee) I finally got 2 shots of liquid antibiotics & they did more than anything to finally cit the massive pain I was in. Not a fun 2 weeks & nothing I ever want to go thru again.
Hey the good news is I have lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks & cut the coffee drinking to 2 cups
instead of 2 pots a day.
