My nephrologist dropped my dry weight for dialysis again. It’s now at 91.0 kg. I think I left dialysis yesterday at 90.8 kg and I’m already at 93.5 kg tonight. That’s 2.7 kg over and I have another whole day before dialysis. Since I’m wearing different clothing + shoes at weigh-in, I’m never sure what my starting weight is for dialysis. I blame all the protein shakes I’ve been sampling. I drank a bottle of the Muscle Milk I bought from Amazon, and a bottle of the Premier Protein I bought from Costco today. That’s 22 fluid oz or ~650 mL total, which adds 0.65 kg to my weight. Since we removed the PD catheter, I can’t use the leftover dextrose solution to cheat and remove fluid at home so I have to really control my fluid intake tomorrow.
