ok, enough of this Bull sh!!!

after 7 days (post fill)  with a little problem with congestion. (going tomorrow to dr's) I lost 7 lbs.  So yesterday, I didn't track, didn't eat much, but did have a wine and cheese curls (yaya I know)  anyway. this morning i'm up 4 lbs.  I also think that not taking my diaretic (BP meds) probably adding to this.  I can't get that pill down, i will ask dr tomorrow about what he can do to help me with that.  I also didnt' get in nearly enough water yesterday.  so If accountability is what I need accountability I will do.  today's plan.  I hope I don't bore you guys with this sillyness.  IF IT TAKES ME 5 YEARS TO GET TO GOAL, I'M NOT GIVING UP. 

B:  2 coffee's, 1 protein shake
Water
L:  Peppersteak w/melted prevolone (NO bread)  (2 oz shaved steak) w/fried onions and peppers
Water
S:  almond Nut Bar =140 cal
D: sm. baked pot. w/RF butter, 1 chicken wing

Just not enough time in a day to get in all my water.  after waiting an hour after food to be able to have water and it takes me 1 1/2 hours to get 20 oz down.  IWON'T BE DRINKING AFTER 8:00pm. sorry, no bathroom upstairs, i'll be up all night peeing.

With what you are eating (or not eating) even with the wine and stuff there is no way you can gain 4lbs in a day or so.  It has to be water retention...I hate that when it happens to me.  Good luck at your doc appointment and I hope you get a different med and start seeing improvement!

I agree, BUT that is my matabolism for you.  Allways has been.  I thought WLS would change that, but I guess not.  My body has its own plan.  I guess I really need to work out with a vengence to make a difference and That isn't gonna happen, so I just got to go with the flow.  like I said, it might take me 5 years, I guess it is good I have the band so I can adjust it as needed.

Cheryl your accountability posts are certainly not sillyness!  I also love your never give up attitude.  It sounds like you're just retaining water right now, so maybe they can find you a smaller pill or something in liquid that you can take for your BP.  Good luck at the Dr.'s tomorrow.

I have to agree, it has to be water weight.  It doesn't take much water to add up, two glasses is a pound and we carry a lot of water around with us. Good Luck, I hope you get some answers tomorrow.

Thanks Guys, I just feel like you guys don't really need to be hearing it.  I whine all the time.  I just need a place to vent and a way to keep on track.  Wish I wasn't the only one. haha

Keep on venting girl!  That's why we're here!  I vent all the time!  Who else understands us??   I agree with the others though that that weight has got to be fluid!  Hope the doc can get you on some other med that will help you get rid of that fluid!
keep us posted!!!!!!!!!

alcohol dehydrates your body and if you don't eat enough your body thinks it's starving. minor set back. you are doing great. i find i go up a pound or two after a night of a couple of drinks. then a couple days later they are gone. hang in there.
