Hello PaulaG and everyone,

Been around for awhile - and wanted to comment on the Lasix thing. I have been on Lasix for many years. I can't get off of them. My body has adjusted to the "fix" - and now if I were to stop, I would balloon up for months.

Lasix works for a temp fix, although some folks need it for HBP - which serves the purpose. I have HBP for many years, and this is the only thing that works, coupled with Avapro. (Another HBP medication)

I work out w/ weights, run/walk cardio 6 - 7 days a week. I eat only 1190 cal. a day, and have gone back to LC'ing it again. I find it very, very difficult to loose weight due to the Lasix involvement.

(I also had Thyroid CA, so coupled w/ Lasix, and metabolism problems, it is real difficult.)

Anyway, if you can get by without the use of Lasix that is better. I wish I could let go of them too!

Take good care, take a big breath and continue your hard work in loosing weight.

My best regards to all!
Andi
