Sunday Weigh In

It absolutely sickens me to post this number but it has to be done or I will shy away from this post all summer long!!! 

Today 122.

I am a summer sweller and I have my winter weight which is consistently 119 but my summer weight ranges between 119 and 122 depending on the weather.   When I look back at my earlier records I can see where I had a couple of larger losses in early fall every year.

I thought for sure I wouldn't swell after I lost all of this weight.  I  don't swell as bad as I used to (my clothes fit  the same) but my left ankle is very noticeable.  I even went for testing on it last summer but they said nothing was wrong. I try to prop my legs when I can and watch my salt.  I'll take any other suggestions. 

I'm sorry, Roz...

I know it bothers you.

After my knee surgery, I bought some over the counter water pills from the health food store.  I think they helped.  I may try them again.  I have a sock line on my legs no matter what kind of socks I wear because of fluid.

I didn't know you could buy them over the counter.

Before WLS I took a water pill and after time my body started aching.  My potassium dropped really low so then I had to start taking a potassium pill every day too.

What do you think?  Should I try it?

It may be worth a try, every other day or something.  I imagine you are on move vits now than you were then.

Last week 150.2
This week 150.8

gained half a pound :(  Those 140s are elusive lol

Candy, you'll get there, just keep at it. Maybe up your protein a wee bit?

With my upcoming surgery I am going to be increasing the protein shakes anyway.  Maybe it will help both!

frustration!  So close to goal but stuck.  lol
