Fatty McFatster

I love the cheddar flavored skinny pop popcorn!!! I love your username.

Coffee!
I like to drink! I've decided to quit for a year after my surgery, though.
I love reading! I always got my nose buried in a book!
I love make up. Sephora is my version of heaven.
And of course I love food, that's what got me here. Mexican and chicken nuggets.

Given up the booze (12 years ago), fags (6years ago), can't give shoes up and now the weight is going, I'm buying some fairly decent bits of clothing. Unfortunately, my obsessive personality is kinda egging me on to just buy that little bit more........... Saving a fortune on some foodstuffs though so have thoroughly justified my spending to myself. Just have to hide my hoard from Mr Economy-Drive (husband)!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for the response and explanation. I really appreciate it. Just hate that all of this had to happen right before my final weigh-in.

I have an urgent appointment with my Urologist tomorrow. They're concerned that I've gained 18 pounds in 5 days. So they're going to do an X-ray and run some tests.

Try not to panic. I'm betting most of it will be gone in a few days. Leave the scale alone for a couple days. For me, when the scale isn't moving I get super stressed out. So I just keep
Doing what I'm supposed to do and forget about the numbers. When I weigh again a few days later, all is well.

Oh wow I feel so bad for you. I agree that it is the Fluid from the hospital IV's but the timing really sucks. My Doc took me off my thyroid pills for a short time at 6 weeks out because the blood test came back high. I gained 7 pounds in 4 days. It is so frustrating when you do everything right, but you still pay the price. Hang in there! Long term this is just a speed bump.

when I came home from my second stay in the hospital, I was 12 lbs heavier than preop. All fluids & swelling, of course, as I was only in the hospital cause I couldn't keep anything down.
Overnight, nearly half of it disappeared. Truth.

Thank you. I appreciate it. I hope things get easier as well. Standing at a urinal for hours at a time in hopes to use the bathroom is crazy.

Oh honey! I'm sorry to hear that you are distraught. It's not real. Stay off the scale. Keep doing your tried and true rules and it will all work its way out. This is a traumatic change for your body. It's confused and trying to keep you alive by holding onto everything to preserve your health. After you are out of pain and healthy you will get back on track. Just remember to eat correctly and drink lots of Water. Our prayers are with you in this difficult time.

Inflammation and all the IV fluids. I wonder how much kidney function reduces. That may also be why you're holding Fluid. Then there's the Constipation and slowwwwwww motility from anesthesia and narcotics. Our colons can hold 8-12 pounds of waste [emoji12]
I just posted on a vets thread about some of this.
Don't panic. It will come off when you start moving.
It's not fat. Promise!

Skinny pop popcorn
Workout clothes and athletic shoes. (In the last year I have bought over 30 pairs)

scale
sudoku
BP
Getting rid of stuff that I don't need (clothes too - NSV).Anything that just add clutter (books, VHS tapes, knick knacks, extra bedding, extra plates/pots/pans). Its like extreme spring cleaning - simplifying my house - is my excuse!

I also LOVE gardening!!!

I also LOVE gardening!!!

Most of us are (or have been) addicted to food, but what other addictions/ obsessions do you have?
I'll go first....
I'm addicted to/ obsessed with:
•constantly checking my phone throughout the night
•over-exercising
•buying new socks
•gardening
•cruising/vacationing
I'll try to think of more and add them later.

I'm in again!! I love these challenges and so thankful to be apart of them.
Sarah - Thanks so much for all you do my friend!!!

I've been in severe pain and throwing up most of the day so I went to the ER. My urine sample was almost entirely blood and a CT scan found that I have an 8mm kidney stone!!! Yikes!!!
I've had kidney stones 6 times previously, but never one this large. I will need surgery to have it removed, so they will probably admit me to the hospital for the night to control the pain/nausea and then schedule surgery for tomorrow morning.
Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

Gosh. I pray things get easier for you in a few days. Hopefully you won't hurt the whole time you have the stent in.

Make that 5 stones now passed in the past 24 hours.

Thank you both. Happy Easter!
Still in a lot of pain. I have passed 4 smaller stones in the last 24 hours. Not sure if they are parts from the large 8mm stone or separate stones. Either way they hurt like heck!!

Now, everyone go drink some water!
