I'll be 80 in 4 months and just had surgery to remove a large kidney stone, so I was told I'd need to have 80 even 100 oz of water per day! I'm also a few years into heart failure with related heart problems. So how do I reconcile that? I'm in a remote area, and there are no RDs to consult here unless you have diabetes or chronic kidney disease (CKD), then there are a few at the local hospital. They didn't even return my call when I called to ask if I could pay for a consultation with one of them who might be familiar with both conditions. Open to recommendations. It's seeming like I can't eat anything but oatmeal and a few fruits!

We can't even talk to my dad about his sodium any more. Every conversation goes south or he starts fibbing about what he's consuming. He's just had a double by-pass and spent ~8 weeks in hospital. . . now he's going ham on eating all the foods he wasn't able to get at the hospital.

Great but what about the sugar content of your Frosted mini wheats? Yes perhaps low sodium, but they also contain obesity-causing levels of sugar!!!! When will manufacturers stop making us eat unhealthy levels of this stuff? You're a nurse, doesn't this cause you concern? These breakfasts you mention aren't even healthy, so as far as you're concerned, they could all contain rat poison, but at least they're low in sodium! Ludicrous!

Hi I am having a really tough time. I have reduced my calories to 1600 a day to lose weight. I was heading towards hypertension. So I have made adjustments. I suffer with anismus and IBS. I walk an hour plus every day now. Done it for 2 weeks. Last week I lost 5 lbs. My salt is reduced to a daily max of 3.75g. Sugars no more than 30g per day. The issue is getting enough to eat to fill 1600 calories is really tough and its becoming stressful. The whole point was to lower blood pressure and be healthy. I am also eating between a window of 12pm and 8pm. I can't eat nuts, cereals, oats. I hate cream cheese as well and I can't do eggs. The shops in the UK are packed with food high in salt and sugars. From the last 2 weeks of changing, the food inustry has a lot too answer for. There is no way they need to out in as much salt and sugar as they are doing. Most people like I did, eat and don't realise until they encounter issues. Thankfully I can turn this around by weightloss and eating better. So is there any foods that I can have that are higher in calories but low in salt?

Very helpful and stay away from table salt !! it's dangerous !

Wasn't given a water pill & had feet like balloons! I won't use that hospital or MD though up & coming & training under a master. This nurse just did a fine job. I needed her weeks ago. I also need a valve replacement as mine is bad & heart enlarged. Fearing it in my age & health.

LOVE IT!! The front is advertising ONLY and it LIES!! LOOK at the SERVING SIZE!!

Whoa ,I need to m make these changes

Make your own taco seasoning. It’s so easy

What about fruit which is full of water?

I am a nurse also and have been looking for something to help my Dad with his understanding of fluid restriction. He has CHF and this is the best video I have found. Great video!

Thank you

What's the least amount of sodium per day . I keep it around 700 mg

I love frosted mini wheats, thankyou! I am looking for 0 to low sodium foods i can eat. I have discovered that lime juice added to plain popcorn and other things gives a good flavor.

Popcorn ? Plain?

Hi, what's the last sauces name so I may look for that brand

Can people with chf use nutritional yeast in meals

I’d go with the most soul crushing low sodium diet if I could have you in my life to add the most amazing seasonings instead! 😊

Diagnosed with hf 3 years ago - but was told I'd probably already had it for quite a while. I've put on 10kg - or 22lb in a year. My stomach, my arms, my breasts are really bloated. However, I only have a bit of swelling in the ankles - therefore they don't take notice. They just say, "You must be eating well!" I eat once a day, some veggies, sometimes some chicken with it. I don't eat salt, sugar, any processed foods, etc. Other days I don't feel hungry at all and have some avocado on salt-free crackers. I feel so gaslighted. I actually read somewhere on the internet, that you dont HAVE to have swollen ankles to have fluid retention. But for them it's "one size fits all." I have never even been given fluid tablets. I am so short of breath now, I can only walk around the house. If I go out I have to be pushed in a wheelchair. Where I live the system sucks.

Thank you for the very clear explanation. I just worry when the hot summer comes, I live where the summers are or 100-115 for 3-4 months . That heat can really dehydrate you, and unfortunately the cost of keeping the house cool will just add to the thirst and dehydration. I wonder how my body will handle this issue.

you can get tomatoes and paste without salt.

or you can make your own sauce like I do.

Keep it old school you’ll live longer !!

Everything in this video is highly inflammatory and extremely unhealthy and should not be eaten by any human being, the only good part is bacon and eggs, and nobody should ever eat a low sodium diet ever you salt your food until your body says you don't need salt, as long as you eat the proper human keto/carnivore diet, if you eat the other junk and a standard American diet like most of us than yes control some sodium but the human body needs salt, and cholesterol is a natural needed physiological mechanism that's been around for millions of years for us, next you can't get high cholesterol from any meat, or from food dietary cholesterol does not raise serum cholesterol, the inflammation from eating the junkie cearal she calls healthy is what causes cholesterol to respond to the damage the body has from junk food the american diet has, please ignore all advice on here except for the bacon and eggs, eat as much bacon and eggs as you want until u are full with the normal carnivore foods you wont get fat or sick

Excellent explanation. Thank you.

The cereals have sugar j them and that is a no no for stoners or kidneys

Thank you much needed....more info pls on other food

Damn what can one eat.!!

The Margarita pizza is actually 460mg sodium per one slice. It's still not worth it when someone is on a 2000mg sodium restriction. 😢 The Jamaican jerk chicken pizza is the better choice coming at 360mg per one slice, BUT it was a limited edition pie, and they no longer sell them. 😭

If I cant use salt or something that spices up my food I dont want to eat period.

I used "no salt" for awhile than I learned if one was on cholesterol medicine you shouldn use "no salt"!

Dear Kelly... i would highly recommend reading this article. The Uncertainty of Sodium Restriction in Heart Failure. We Can Do Better Than This*. Clyde W. Yancy, MD, MSC. JACC: HEART FAILURE VOL. 4, NO. 1, 2016..... also it may not be a bad idea to read the 2022 CHF guidelines take on fluid restriction. Hope you can understand why I sent you this...and spread the "take this advice with a pinch of salt" . . . no pun intended...

so many words with no content. Great.

So people that have high blood pressure can't have Thanksgiving dinner or ham dinner for Christmas

Kelly can you please make a video on what people with high blood pressure is supposed to eat for holiday meals, Thanksgiving, Christmas dinner

WOW!Thank you for this video! I had no idea it was so important to record one's weight every day to monitor fluid intake and retention! Thank you so much for making this video and explaining it so perfectly to us!!!

I am so thankful for this video! You have explained so clearly what my doctor and nurse never really told me when I was diagnosed with CHF! This is of immense value! Thank you again!

My Dr would tell me to stop watching these videos and would believe me

2:20 this is exactly what happened to me, I was hours away from death.

I love how they don't tell you the brands of bacon at that low of sodium...I have only been ever able to find one and they no longer make it due to a bacon shortage nationwide

This was so helpful, thanks so much. My dr put me on a low sodium diet. I had no idea sodium was in spaghetti sauce. I'll make my own topping with tomatoes and basil!

Thank you for the information.😊

Thank you.miss kelly

Thank you 🙏

I have restricted to 1000ml as my kidneys arent right was gaining two pounds a day on 1.5 lrs of water and going the bathroom once a day. I was not happy. Im extremely thin framed and dont believe my body needs much water. I eat 800 calories a day at the moment I cut back any time my thyroid slows down.

I wont drink more than 1 litre of water as i urinate only once a day after increasing my water consumption on average i urinate only 4 times a day i spread it out and gained another pound overnight. I eat very little. I also have shortness of breath on occasion. Is this normal for kidneys?

Not all pasta is zero

Is the bacon a legit thing?

A great option for a night when homemade isnt feasible. Thanks!

My ER k st gives you IV Lasix and sends you home - even when your O² saturation is down to 81% on 2 L of oxygen. 😠
