My new name should be self destructive
I posted a few days ago about my water retention problem. I went to the pcp dr and got weighted in on his scale after being there a week ago . Everything went down hill fast.
i GAINED 11lbs in a week. He said that was impossible. Isaid with or without the band i couldn't eat that much. I didn't over eat, drank my water and I exercised i promise. I won't lie to you guys.
He took me off one of my bp meds with a dieutic and i feel swollen. He said the meds i was on wouldn't cause that. He said he wants me to go for a sonogram if i gain any more weight. I broke down amd said do you know what I have to do to lose that 11 lbs. I felt defeated. He gave me a laxative cause I told hiim i wan't as regular as I have been. Soooooooooooooooooooo i decided to go to hell with everything. I have not gone back to my old ways even through crap at home or work but if i was going to gain 11 i was going to enjoy it. Pulled into Micky dees and ordered fries and shoveled a bunch of them in my mouth. They were disgusting. And of course I got stuck. Came home and gave them to hubby and proceeded to the bathroom to get rid of them. For an hour i was in pain, wasn't worth it but i am so depressed.
Just needed to vent. I do not need any kicks in the ass did it to myself. Please do not yell at me I know what i did wrong and I can't handle it today.

Why did he take you off of your BP meds? And did he discontinue the meds before or after your weight gain. A fast gain like that is usually water retention, but that's just a personal opinion. Your diuretic should resolve any retention issues. But don't give up. I think this weight gain has something to do with something other that caloric intake.
I agree with BASIMAH02. If you had eaten enough to gain 11lbs in one week, you would know about it! It would have been non-stop eating! And even then, it is unlikely!
Have you, without realising, increased sodium intake?

So did they take your B/P? And did he put you on a dieuretic?
11 pounds is a lot! Before the band I could easily gain 5-6 pounds in fluid in a week.
Are your fingers still swollen, did he see your swelling?
Are you urinating as much as you did prior to stopping the med?
