So I'm having a really good food day today. I ate real healthy, didn't overeat. So now I'm just sitting here in front of the computer. Chad and I had a talk last night. I asked him if he thought I was crazy with all of this. He said no. Them I asked him if he's noticed that I've put on some weight and he basically, in his nice way of talking, said, yes. Then I asked him if he thought other people had noticed I packed on the pounds and he said he's be lying if he said no. So there you have it! This one was a significant weight gain...not happy...but now for the good news...
So dialysis basically gets rid of all the fluid you put into your body. That's why I don't pee anymore. When I first got sick and my kidneys failed, I was in the hospital for four days, and in those 4 days, they took 40lbs of fluid off me! Well, when I went to dialysis today, i was 8kg over...way too much...they ended up sucking 6kg off me (13lbs). So I think this whole weight gain, ballooning thing, was actually just water! Well, mostly water. So, now I'm sooo close to my goal I can smell it! So now I'm happy!

I was reading your e-mail.I was really interested in it.I'm a type 1 diabetic with cancer.The only problem I have is that I'm allergic to surgar.When i lose my weight;I lose it too fast.I eat nothing but home cook meals that I make.I watch what I eat and I drink alot of water.I'm thinking of getting the lap band in me but my doctors are of not doing it.So I just watch what i eat and i do it that way.Everything I eat has Splenda in it.I crave sweetness but I have to remember what I have to put with it.I wish I have a friend to talk to over the phone about my weight .But nobody wants to talk about that.I have cousins that go to dialysis.Write back to me if you could.
