So yesterday wasn’t a great for me as far as following my diet. I weighed myself yesterday morning at 309.2 and this morning, the same scale, is reading 315-317!!!!!!!! I am not proud but yesterday I did eat more often than I should have. I had egg salad(without bread))for a snack and I usually do not snack. I also had part of a sno cone which did have sugar. I’m just unsure how there was such a dramatic increase in weight.

TMI, But I will also add I have used the bathroom.

I know you shouldn’t weigh everyday but I have never “gained” so much in one day even before surgery. I could go to a buffet and still not gain so much!

Yeah! Head my warning! Generally I have been following my diet really well and intend to. Maybe I’m having hormonal fluctuations or something as well, who knows! ?‍♀️

I always "gain" a few pounds during that time of the month. So I know its possible for hormones to affect it.

The other diuretic I'm on has potassium in it. So, I'm good.

Speaking of the 45 minute thing - The doctor injected the lasix directly into my vein because the oral meds weren't having enough of an effect. Then I drove to work. About 20 minutes after the injection, I ended up in the mother of all traffic jams. I was praying "Please, God, just let me make it to the next exit. Don't make me pee in the middle lane of the interstate!" God was kind and I made it to the next exit and there was even a gas station there! I could hardly walk in, in needed to pee so bad!

Oh NO!!!!! haha I know that feeling, but I was just worried about the 20ft walk to the restroom, not on an insterstate, OMG!

It becomes a "lesser of 2 evils" thing. In my case, the cardiologist thinks there is fluid around my lungs and it needs to be reduced. The surgeon said the diuretics are fine so long as I continue to drink plenty of liquid, which has never been an issue for me.

Gotcha! Hope that gets better!
