Ok Everyone....Yesterday I pulled my scale out and hopped on and I couldnt believe my eyes...so I got back on and off a few times...20# lighter from 2 months ago...Weird isnt it ??? I had to get my husband to get on and my daughter just to make sure the scale wasnt broke. I dont feel alot lighter...but I guess its true.One of my close friends said maybe the anxiety left me because I actually found out the cause of pain....but I just think Im not as hungry and drinking more water...no pop....Just thought Id share...See ya !!!
Losing your appetite when your sick is not unusual, and you do have to drink a lot of water.
Yet you must be aware that malnutrition can happen.
A body needs the proper amount of nutrition.
Remember, it's "only" your kidneys and possibly your liver that are diseased. The rest of your body still needs nutrients to function.
You certainly don't want to put your body in a wose state than it already is.
Let your doctor know about this situation.
And,,,hang in there!
Peace and Blessings!

the question is are you trying, or do you want to lose weight? if you are cutting back other than the soda, you are doing well. if this is an issue of appetite loss due to illness, not a good thing.
your picture does not look like an overweight woman.
