I just love my smart assed WLS friends! Yall made me giggle.

This does though point out how BAD all that extra sodium is, and how it messes with our bodies.

Gotta go-I'm hungry and McDonalds is right around the corner. I'm driving there.

"I'm driving there." LOL You almost made me choke on my calcium chew!

I don't normally pay all that much attention to sodium because most of my diet is pretty low in sodium so the occasional salty item isn't usually an issue, but yesterday was a salt-fest! It will be interesting to see how long it takes to get back to normal weight.

When I was in the LOSING phase, I found that time-of-the-month and whatever other things affected my losing For me, from the END of month 2 through the end of month 12 I followed the same four-week pattern:

Week 1 - Lose like crazy

Week 2 - Lose just a lil

Week 3 - Neither lose nor gain

Week 4 - GAIN

Week 1 - lose everything I gained and a bunch more.... etc.

Of course the first weeks went like this: I was retaining water like mad when I went into the hospital, so I peed like every 20 minutes for EIGHT HOURS solid after surgery, I was down 15 pounds within 24 hours of surgery, and 25 lbs by the time I went home. I didn't lose anything else until week 9 after surgery.

~Lady Lithia~ 200 lbs lost!
