Fatty McFatster

I've lost 2 more pounds of Water weight. It's definitely slowed down, but happy to see it still coming off.
Unfortunately, I feel like death today. Everything hurts (i.e. Head, legs, stomach, kidney, ankles, etc). I'm also really nauseous and lightheaded. I'm guessing my body is just tired from all it's been through over the last week.
Think I'm just going to rest today and catch up on sleep.
Thanks as always to all of you for looking after me.

HURRAY so glad to have read the diuretic is working and 20 of those 30 are now gone. Glad to hear you got potassium also. I know diuretics cause me horrible leg cramps and I would hate for you to have them on top of everything else happening with you. I hope this Thursday evening you are getting even more relief and returning to being as good as before all this started.

sounds like acute renal failure after the stent placement. Can happen. Your kidneys way of saying wtf is this stent and why is it here.... and shut down for a bit. Glad the diuretics are kicking them in.

I was also prescribed potassium to go along with the diuretic.

I'm now up to 20 pounds of Water weight lost in 24 hours. Yay!!!
This diuretic has been a miracle!!!
Now just 10 more to go.

I urinated 7 times overnight and when I weighed this morning I had already lost 10 pounds of Water weight.
I have since urinated about 5 more times today and have lost another 5 pounds of Water weight.
So, thankfully, the diuretic is working as I have lost 15 pounds of water weight in only 18 hours. Yay!!!!

I have been without a computer at home for the last 6 days. I have only been able to use my office computer on the 2 days I work and only for a quick few minutes. I knew you were having kidney stones problems but had no idea you had gained over 30 pounds in 7 days. I am only on page 4 of this thread so I don't know yet what has happened. However I am reading that several people have suggested you go to the ER and I tend t o agree there is something seriously wrong ad hope you did get to the ER. If they still haven't found out what is wrong I hope and pray that they do soon before there is even more of a weight gain. I wonder if in your walks something may have bitten you and you are having a reaction from it? Try a recall if anything happened during those walks. You never know!
Here I am discouraged and upset over a 3 pound gain and you have gained ten times that amount. I truly feel for you my friend as 90 pounds gone in 4 months was a fantastic amount to lose and I was so happy when you had gained back your mobility to walk again. This is not anything that you do so please do not look at it that way. Once they find out what is wrong I know that weight will come off very quickly. Hang in there and keep positive. Get well!

Yesterday they felt like they were going to explode and today they are almost back to normal.

Make sure they keep an eye on your potassium...... I'm glad you're feeling better!

Huh. Maybe your kidneys just had to learn how to work again after surgery.
This is great news in any event!

Thinking about you... hoping things are going well at the Dr. today!

So glad the diuretic is working! They still need to figure out WHY this was happening though. Make sure they figure it out.

Long story short: I went to the ER just 5 days ago due to a large kidney stone. I had emergency surgery to break up the kidney stone and I ended up having to stay in the hospital for 1 night. My urologist also put in a stent that I'll have for 4 weeks. I get all of that.
But how in the world have I gained 18 pounds in 5 days (from kidney stone surgery)?!?!?!?!?! EIGHTEEN POUNDS!!!!!
And if that wasn't bad enough, I'm in a local Biggest Loser weight loss challenge that's been going on for 7 weeks where you can win $1,000 if you lose the most weight. I walked nearly 70 miles each week and closely monitored my food intake. I don't know if I would have won, but I was so happy with my progress. Unfortunately, the last weigh in is this week...and did I mention I'm up 18 pounds?!?!
I'm so disappointed.
