VERY down.. gained almost 10 lbs in the last few days

So it was all fluid weight right?  Is everything all better now as far as the weight goes? Gonna head to Jersey?

Sending you HUGS Lori! -Bud

I don't even know what to say Lori. I feel for ya and I want to be there for ya like you have been for me but I'm no good at that sorda stuff!  Maybe you should take that trip to Jersey.  Heck you can stop here in Charlotte for a day or something.  There's a lot of stuff to do here.  I'm in love with the whitewater center! We could go do that! I hope you get to feeling better and I'm pretty sure that 10lbs won't stay with you long. 

Thanks kiddo.

I know how depressing it is to step on the scale & see a weight increase:-(  But everyone is right, there is no way you gained 10lbs of fat in a few days.  With me, when I see a large weight gain, I just assure myself that my scale is broke & when I see a large weight drop, I'm positive that I just worked extra hard-roflmao!!! Anyway, sending hugs your way. Lisa

Thank you, Lisa.

Glad to hear the water weight is gone....no wonder if you normally take Lasix and have been off of it for a few days.  That's one powerful diuretic!!  Now I think you need to get in that Mustang (I have one too) and get the hell out of there for a week.  Let those lazy people you live with see what life is like without chief cook and housekeeper around....maybe they'll appreciate you more upon your return.  Sounds like you need to put yourself first in your life, Lori.  Don't know your cir****tances and sounds like you must be still living with the ex for a reason (financial?) but you aren't his slave or your kids.  One thing I've learned in life....it's way too short to stay in a situation that beats you down and makes you doubt yourself.  You are being so strong with your food choices and sounds like you're amazing your doctor and everyone with your diabetes and need for insulin.....that takes a LOT of determination and strength, so you know you've got it in you girl!  I admire your grit.  You deserve a better life.  Give yourself a break and get out of there for a few days and rediscover the strong woman you are. ****rtainly don't mean to say anything that upsets you further...don't know you so probably don't have the right to give any advice at all....but it's advice I'd give my daughter if she was in your situation)  Wishing you the best....Sherrie

Haha.. no.. you didn't say anything to upset me further!  lol  Seems the fluid is starting to come back on again... 3 lbs up from this morning.. and it CAN'T be what I ate.  I just had dinner (2 chicken thighs and a couple of broccoli florets).  I did take 80 mg of the lasix again this morning.. but it didn't seem to do ANYTHING today.  Maybe it's the lack of exercise.  I've been on my back since it went out.  The last time I did ANY exercise was Wednesday.  I gotta try the recumbent bike tomorrow and stretch enough to handle weights on Tuesday. Yea.. I'm here for a few reasons.. none of which are GOOD reasons.   Guess I'm just too scared to get back out into the world.. Thanks for the post.. and for letting me vent.  I'll get over it.. I always do.  :)
