  1. AGAIN, i am not saying water is bad, im saying i drink nothing but water and taking water pills just not really good. im just saying maybe a gatorade or something in the mix, for me that is.
  2. yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, so happy for you. glad to have you here
  3. mimi yep when i was in er they gave me an iv bag and i felt better for a week and fell ill again. im good now
  4. sun let me rephrase myself. no the water did not do it i was saying becareful drinking just plain water,, you can lose nutrients through urine so drink like gatoroade or something. it happend when i increased mywater. ive been taking the pills for about a year and this just started happening so from now on i will have a gatorade here or there.
  5. thanks guys, at least i dont get the cramps
  6. thank you everyone. i really dont like gatorade or powerade so i searched for something i could like and low and behold i found this drink called bodyarmor it has 650 mg of potassium and other great things. i feel al ittle better
  7. **WARNING*** DONT DRINK PLAIN WATER ONLY. some of you know ive been having dizzy spells over the past few months. been to the ER where they told me nothing was wrong and sent me home. well a week later i was dizzy again, yesterday got really bad i had to leave work and go back to the dr. i guess it depends on who the dr is because this dr not only read my labs from the ER, but told me it popped up clearly my potassium levels are very low hummmmmmmmm the ER dr just sent me on my way, and the cold part is he didnt even send the results to my primary dr, member services will be contacted. so what i put together after my visit is 1. my bp meds is a water pill. 2. i drink more than a gallon of water daily, **note** i only drink water occasionally coffee or tea , but only plain water, so this morning god spoke to me, yes god for the believers. said drink some gatorade along with the potassium pills i was prescribed. so i am on my way to the store now to get some and add it to my water intake. be careful dont just drink plain water especially if you take bp meds.
  8. i have been frustrated, but i got that 5lbs of water off thank god, back to working out but only 3 days of cardio and 2 days of toning i was over working my body. its time for the scale to move again i want to get to a 14 before my birthday in august. as far as calories. im still confused my nut said 1400 because i workout but its so hard. today i got it there. so lets see what happens when i weigh in on sunday.
  9. I disagree, this is a place for us to vent and ask questions. ive been on here for 10 months and i see the same questions by differant people who had surgery way after me and you know what i just dont read it, someone else who is either new or can relate to that person will respond. we have to keep in mind its a cyber world and we have people that didnt get instructions or dont have support like some of us, ive read where people live almost in the middle of no where and have no one to talk to, we are all post and pre patients and are individual. some people just need you to hold there hand, and some are strong like yourself, dont have people afraid to post on here and ask a question, you might be tired of the same questions but there is someone out there that isnt.
  10. tomorrow is a new day. for your stressers write down your short term goals and long term goals. take it step by step you cant stress about tomorrow tomorrow is not here yet. when you wake up in the morning you are blessed to do it all again. get back to basics try try try again if you have to. we got your back ok.
  11. green thanks, a co worker told me whts wrong and it makes since, i have high bp and i take meds and i drink coffee everyday and i workout almost everyday intensely she said that the meds and excersise brings it down and the coffe brings it up that could exlplain the whole dizzy thing im just off balance so she said try stopping coffe and lower my dosage and see what happens well i didnt workout out for 3 days and cut my pill in half and not as dizzy. i did have about 3 oz of coffee but thats the most i will have. and by the way i gained 5lb lbs and i really think its the Water i am holding on to it i drink lots of water so i guess i have to reduce mysodium more. momof i found it easy if you by one of the starbucks venti glasses they sell withthe straw. 4 of those and you are done. it works, i also put fruit in my water.
  12. hi green, im not doing well ended up in ER lots of stuff going on the scale is up 4lbs from excersing and bloating. when its hot i bloat the freaking water wont leave. been trying to get more cals in to support my workout but no bueno. my nut said 1400 so i make two 400 cal shakes aday with protien powder 1 banana 1/4 cup strawberries, cup almond milk and 2 tbs no salt peanut butter. someone one told me to eat a burger lol. im not dizzy any more thank god the er really scared me i almost passed out at home and i live alone.

  15. milixxa thank you so much for the encourageing words. ms ive been drinking 100oz of Water a day. i thought it was the pressure also but it went back up and i was still feeling that way. the metallic taste just started today. im praying my body will start releasing fat soon. but i might have to reduce my workout from 5-6 days to 3 every other day. just not eating enough for that type of workout.
