Weekly weigh in - Fridays

Added weight but not surprised. I had to stop metformin and orilstat. So now constipated from tramadol.
Only positive thing is I'm back on metformin today so next week should be promising. Fingers crossed.
 
Well done @Rachox . Have a great birthday! It's only once a year so definitely worth celebrating. ♡♥♡
Enjoy and tell us all about it so we can be happy with you.
 


Happy Birthday!

And brilliant weight loss

Urgh - I broke my elbow a couple of years ago and the effect of painkillers was just dreadful - here's hoping that being back on the met helps you this week
 
Happy birthday @Rachox . Well done everyone. I have gained 73.4 but this has been a horrible week on step 1 of pain management and I can assure you paracetamol was useless. I got some first stage codeine this morning and already feeling so much better. Not good enough for going up and downstairs more than once a day but much less arghhhhh. I am on those for a week and report back to GP on Friday.
Spent my time reading a very interesting report on food and dieting which included the following paragraph:- The real question is how to fight this kind of diet absolutism without bouncing back to a mindless celebration of the modern food environment that is demonstrably making so many people sick. In 2016, more than 600 children in the UK were registered as living with type 2 diabetes; before 2002, there were no reported cases of children suffering from the condition, whose causes are diet-related." Now that is something to ponder on. It is a long read but interesting to know stuff like avocados outsell oranges - ok I am a saddo https://www.theguardian.com/lifeand...g&utm_term=238861&subid=10401739&CMP=ema-2793
I have to read drug side effects and the stuff the GP gave me this afternoon. Sighh

I've had a lovely day. Thank you all for your birthday wishes I received some thoughtful gifts, since boxes of chocolates and cakes are off the menu now! Also some money to invest in some new (smaller clothes). I've had a few lower carb treats. Crackling crisps with a salad for lunch, a meringue nest with strawberries and cream after wards, a low carb chocolate and peanut square this afternoon and a piece of low carb mini coffee and vanilla cake after dinner this evening. I was prepared to accept higher blood glucose readings today but they have been just normal ranging from 5.6 - 6.3mmols/l
 
You deserve it hun.
Brilliant bgs too. What a bonus!
 
I'm weighing myself in the morning for FLO so fingers crossed I've lost the added weight from constipation, which has now gone.
If not my aim is for it to be by friday!
 
I've weighed in as 124.80kgs with water retention tummy. So if I reweigh after flurosemide I'd be less but I'm keeping 124.80kg as weight today to keep things consistant.
Hoping by friday I'll be my last weight or less at 123.40. Fingers crossed tight.
 
Wow. This morning I'm 123.20kgs.
Lost 1.6kgs in 3 days. I'm delighted.

Most likely due to resting after such a traumatic tuesday with 4 appointments then swelling.
Rest makes all the difference for me.
