Tai-Lin's Journal, 14 May 2015

I am so disappointed. I was just positive that after nothing but liquids and that horribly nasty-tasting prep for my colonoscopy ~ I got to prep all day Mother's Day! LOL Great timing people! ~ I would weigh less than the 88.4 I weighed last week. . . but instead, when I weighed today I weighed 190.2! I guess I won't do a colonoscopy prep as a weight-loss aid again. LOL Procedure went well Monday and they only found one polyp, which is being biopsied. They said two weeks for results. If it takes the two weeks for results, I would say they (the results)won't be anything urgent. Still, it would be nice if I'd lost at least another pound . . .
190.2 lb Lost so far: 9.8 lb.    Still to go: 35.2 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

I feel your pain, Tai-Lin. Good luck with the biopsy. I think those preps have sodium in them. You might ask.

Please be careful about eating things when you are stressed out. Try to relax and do anything else instead. Hopefully you receive a good news on your biopsy very soon.

Thank you, Cindystinger. I think the preps have sodium in them, too. At least they taste like it. That may be why I went from 188.4 to 190.2. Probably water retention, although I don't know how I managed to keep any water in at all!!

I know what you mean about stress- eating, Deb_N. I do tend to "need" something more often when I am stressed. I weighed even more this morning ~ I went up to 192.2. I have a suspicion it's due to the fact that I currently have my first ever case of bronchitis, and the doctor put me on Prednisone for it, along with Azithromycin antibiotic. I'm only on the Pred for 7 days total, but I really don't want to take it at all, due to all he nasty side effects it has. I called today to see if I could stop taking it, but they said not to, because you have to be weaned off it, even though I just started taking it, and I am already being weaned off it. I had to take 4 10mg tablets on the 13th and the 14th, and took 3 tonight and take another 3 tomorrow night; then I take 1 tablet each day on the 16th, 17th and 18th, then stop. Just in time ! The next day is my birthday. I only have two more days of the Azithromycin, and hope by the 19th I will be done with both meds AND bronchitis, and can get back to seeing a little loss on the scale!

Sorry about the bronchitis. The medication will do its job and hoping you feel better very soon! :)
