Appointment went well, the Doctors all seem to be happy with my progress, they switched me from my Bumex Diuretic to Lasix to see if I can get the swelling down in my Feet, Ankles and Calves, I was about 170lbs 25 days ago now 183lbs and I know it's all water ???????????????
My calves have always been small. Maybe I need some swelling in the calves
You don't want this kind it is painful and very hard on your heart!!My calves have always been small. Maybe I need some swelling in the calves
Oh man! Glad they switched them up! Hopefully it will get you some relief!
I ate way to much, it was very good!!
these days I take my feet super seriously... that doesn't sound comfortable at all all jokes aside
I am having a very hard time getting rid of it ! I am trying some compression socks today !! ??you sure that extra 13lbs is just water?
They should definitely help to keep the water out of your lower legs, and stop the pooling effect in the ankles and feet.
I hope !! It's very uncomfortable !
Yeah, my wife has to use them every once in a while and they are not comfy, but they are effective for the goal. At least with her anyway.
would elevation, or ice packs help at all?
Elevation could definitely help, but not as effective as the compression socks. The compression socks squeeze the water back up the leg and keep any new water from entering below the top of the sock. He will have a dent where the sock was under some fluid at the top of his calves by the end of the day most likely.
I do elevate them in the evenings and I have been sleeping with them slightly higher than my heart
Now I want some donuts!
is it making you pee a lot? I bet it feels sorta nice at the end of the day to take the socks off...
I am still retaining a lot of water 10-15 lbs and I am not peeing near enough. But it does feel great at the end of the day to get the socks off!
Right, the couple minutes after you can feel the blood rushing in and it feels so good after being in them all day. I have only had to wear them once for a couple days from running MK at 25mg a day for a couple weeks and the water retention got pretty bad in my calves and ankles. It sucked, everything felt swollen and stiff. I am sure yours is probably even worse so hopefully it helped. Did your ankles or calves look any less watered down when you took them off?
They looked funny all the water was above my knees, my legs looked like a 300lbs women !!
At least you know they were doing the job then!!!
I think I'm going to have to pull the trigger and get some this weekend!I want more !!
When my wife wears them I have to help her take hers off at the end of the day.
I know I sound like a broken record around here on this topic but aside from everything else you're working through, maybe the weather impacts the energy level a bit? I sorta find it funny that so many people I know in the PNW really struggle with an extra 20 or so lbs and every single person I know who moved to Arizona from Washington tell me how they lost 10, 20, or even 30lbs without changing any aspect of their life and they can't figure out why lol.... I never gain weight when travelling to sunny destinations but we have 9 months of cloud cover here and after a few sunny days when the clouds come in my energy level gets completely sacked...
I have been doing all of these things, I am really trying to make every calorie count, but I am so darn hungry all the time.
When my hunger is really high, I try to push extra vegetables like green beans, broccoli, big bowls of greens, lots of baby carrots. And I eat more peas, beets and oranges for carbs. And some sweet potatoes.
I have been making a big salad most evenings, which I really enjoy, I'm am just having a problem with the will power to stop at that. In the passed I have been able to control it much better, but I currently feel like a Spineless Jelly Fish ??? I can't just say NO !!! Please hand me that jar of peanut butter ???
Yeah its going to happen. Things that may help, but you also may already be doing. Make sure you are putting in a good amount filling veggies into that salad, like broccoli, cauliflower, cold cooked beans, chick peas, and some meat. Keep your use of salad dressing minimal. Lemon juice and pepper is a nice way to add some more flavor if trying to keep calories and sodium in check. That or olive oil and vinegar. Another option is adding some Bragg Aminos which is similar to Soy sauce but far less sodium.
Nice! If i can say that any day on the weekend it's a good weekend for me!
you know... despite the fact that we have about 9 months of very cold, grey, rainy weather in the PNW, I do love the occasionally rainy Sunday in the summer time...
Yes, Do hard and challenging things often. With each success or lesson from failure you will build more confidence. Also look into getting some therapy to find out why you have such a low self esteem. It's a nice 2 part stack, and the only one that is effective to my knowledge. There is no product that can give you confidence, you have to build it.
There is no product that can give you actual confidence, but there are products that can help you be more motivated (Anabolic XT, Sabroxy XT, KannaEase), more social and relaxed in public situations (KannaEase, Stress & Anxiety Support), and products that people say helps them feel more alpha and confident (in a motivation sense) like Anabolic XT, M-Test, Optimize-T, Alpha Gel.
Dang! 10g of carbs is nothing!
