| Weight Loss | Water pills--Help or not? | Jun 25 2007 16:51 (UTC) |

| Well yes, my doctor did reccomend them b/c I'm retaining TOO MUCH water due to the pain medications that I'm on. She has told me to take them unless I start having kidney pain. I'm scheduled for surgery in early November but until then, considering where my pain is, she said that water pills would help with the bloating around my middle and assist -only ASSIST- in my weight loss. I'm now down 6 pounds since Thursday and I've cut back to taking water pills once a day. Pretty much just taking them to not retain, not lose anymore. But they've helped me a lot. With all the extra weight from water around my middle I felt like I was constantly on my period. Now I can do cardio without as much pain. I'm still under her care and will be for a while. She calls to get my weekly report on how my meds are doing and how my weight loss is going. Unfortunately the condition I have is more advanced and so is the pain level which can tend to cause depression and lead to weight gain. But things are going well. I'm not taking any other medications for weight loss like RapidSlimRX or anything and I'm doing just fine on a lower calorie diet and exercise. And it feels great to finally be able to work out again. Boy did I miss that!!! Em |
