Today is exactly 6 weeks post op.. I returned to Dr for my follow up.. I have lost exactly 40 lbs... He also said that my body is retaining 14% more Water than it did at my last visit 5 weeks ago.. My scale also has not moved in about 2 weeks.. And l am only urinating once a day, in the morning..

They tell me to watch my sodium intake, but l dont eat things high in sodium.. I dont add salt to my food either.. The Dr said that the extra 14% water equates to about 20 lbs...

Have any of you experienced this problem?? If so, help me please!!!!!

Does the doctor think it's a problem?

How does he measure how much you are retaining? I tend to retain water as well but noone ever measured it. What does he suggest for you?

the best way to get rid of water is to drink more water. How are you on your water and decaf fluids each day? wishing you WELL!

The Dr is sending me for a urinalysis to see if there is a problem.. The scale he has measures fat % and water %.... i drink plenty of fluids daily, thats why l dont understand

If you drink plenty of fluids throughout the day how are you only urinating once in the morning? That has to be painful. I hope everything works out for you.

Thats just it, its NOT painful at all.. My legs are not swollen, there is no pain anywhere.. And my morning pee really isnt a big one either

That's weird, let us know how that goes.
