Have fun in Chicago sister!!

Highest weight - 325+
Surgery weight - 302
Last week - 244.4
Today - 242.something

I'm silghtly frustrated because my weight on Thursday was 240.8. Why can't it just stay down?!?!

A wise woman once said "You have to remember its only a tool....You still have to do the work....The difference is that you have a big shovel instead of a spoon to do it with."

Hi Patti..

I am so happy for you that you got to go to the Chicago trip.. I hope you are having a great time.. I am sure you will do fine with the food.. you always do just fine.. one week away from the scale may be a good thing anyway..

I have decided that salt is the devil for me.. with yesterday being Easter we had a baked ham . Well today I am blowed up like a tick.. my fingers look like sausage rolls and my ankles and feet are swollen.. even my toes are swollen.. I know it is from the excess salt.. I may never eat ham again.. but I sure enjoyed it... So anyway my weight in is not good this week as the scale is reflecting my water retention from yesterday.. maybe it will be better next week.. 

starting weight 303
surgery weight 236
last week 200
this week 202  



huggs.....

I know it's probably on the verge of painful -- but the way you wrote about it!!

I totally agree, SALT is the .

Get your fluids in and avoid the shaker!

I have given all the ham away.. gone gone gone.....

and I am trying to do low salt today..

Fingers have gone down some.. not big fat sausages anymore.. just little sausages..

I have been drinking so much I think I might float away.. I looked in the mirror to see if my hazel eyes had turned blue but they are still hazel so I guess I can drink some more..


huggs...
