I only use yellow bags (and an extraneal) and I'm told a yellow is the equivalent of a Mars bar. That's four Mars bars a day. I'm now a medium to high transporter (before peritonitis I was a low transporter) and it has made quite a difference in my weight gain. For the last month my yellows have had a dwell time of 3 hours or less (* 4). My weight is slowing going back to normal. For the previous four months post peritonitis with six hour dwells I was gaining about a kilo per month. All those 'Mars bars' add up.
I'll be very interested to see my labs next month, as my dwells are smaller due to my freshly acquired hernia.
