Weight concern , weight gain..solution!

What works for one obviously doesn't work for another .When I first visited my doctor when I came out of the hospital he actually was horrified but understanding as to why I had lost so much weight..I was 163 when I had my accident and first went to the hospital., I was 123 when I was released.. Most doctors and nurses wasn't concerned and well I didn't care..lol they were pumping me full of two types of liquid intravenous antibiotics every 6 hours one was exchanged for the other...most everyone knows that antibiotics strip your system and take away your appetite...it worked that way in my case...First words out of my Doctors mouth behind closed doors " Wtf happened to you.?" he was used to seeing me in a blaze of health , not as a stick person..lol
Anyway we sat and talked he realized it would take me awhile to get back on track and not be as I was before but close...I had bruised my one kidney and function wasn't great..all he said to me was , " one solution , drink lots of water , strive for 1 and 1/2 liters a day , more if possible , because of reduced kidney function and the fact you are dehydrated it needs to be corrected through lots of fluids." I gained more weight and started to look fairly normal , and went to 150 pounds...water is a natural diuretic and removes a lot of nasty bacteria and waste from the kidneys...no sugary fluids just water...flushes the kidneys and keeps weight down ...now 1 year and six months later I am still at 150...and I am now drinking 12 cups of water a day and loving it...I take little salt , and a 3.7 ounce of a salt shaker still is 3/4 full...been that way now for about 5 years ..lol..anyway in short water is a best friend when starting any diet or even every day when thirst strikes..

 I have 1-2 cups of coffee a day. Mostly just one cup of coffee though and then all I drink is water. I love water and drink tons all day, although I dont measure it.

good for you though on the coffee consumption that' stuff that tastes so good and smells so good and is addictive well I don't have to tell anyone what bad stuff the good stuff is ...lol I don't drink too much coffee maybe three a year ..maybe...tea is my drink of choice grew up with a pot on the back burner 24/7 lol..I measure my water consumption with a simple thing an old cranberry juice container...it is a 1.89 litre and I keep two in the fridge one goes the other is opulled to the front first one filled..I love cold water and it best for keeping weight down....thanks ...

 I drink at least 3 - 16.9 oz bottles of water while at work each night. And take one if I go out anywhere.

I will sometimes drink some diet ice tea, or juice with breakfast...but thankfully never was much of a soda drinker.

 wowoowow!! good for you obviously you know the importance of water...I always was a water drinker but when I had to do it on a daily basis it became less fun? lol thank you for your input keep going!..soda sugars will only make you more thirsty I use lemons or limes in my water to brighten the taste
