Getting there slowly.

Well, I am down 4 lbs. Only 8 lbs more and I'll be where I was last week. I still am retaining fluid in my legs so take lasix again and hopefully more will come off. I will keep my eating light today, if I am able. I hate this...this is why I need the surgery. Because I can't lose on my own and not screw it up. My eating other than salt wasn't that bad. It makes me want to give up!
The only thoing that keeps me going is the thought of my surgery. I don't want to be turned down for the surgery...I worry I will because nothing comes easy for me. I have to fight for everything, It wears you down. Just once I wish I didn't have to struggle for everything. I know that after the surgery it will be a struggle to find what works and what doesn't. I know I can do that diet and I am prepared for it but right now I'm "just waiting for the shoe to drop".
I just wish life was easier sometimes...not all the time I understand that it doesn't work that way but just wish it once in a while.
Forgive my rant who ever reads this...I am extremely down today again. I'm just whining a little bit today. Forgive me.

Hi Deb.

I just want you to know that the hard work and sacrifice will pay off. Don\'t you loose your faith, God is with you and he will take care of you. Keep up the good work and don\'t give up.

Nothing was never easy for me but i made it trough. Stop the salt drink lost of water and if you can (this is my grandmas remedy for water retention) take one pineapple, one cucumber and two or three celery and if you have a juicer or processor extract that juice and drink it three times a day it works better than water pills and taste just like pineapple. I do it and it works.

Take care and have a nice day!!
