Water retention....

Any suggestions?

Been out of town and driving for 5 days, and I am puffy! Of course had my 2 month follow-up Appt. yesterday morning and I was up, not down!! We talked about what I was eating, and she showed me the pitting from the edema. Overall she is pleased with my food log and appearance, but the scale was once again not my friend!

Any suggestions for getting this Water weight gone?

I haven't been sleeved yet but I do have edema. I was given Water pills & have been on them for the past 2 years but suddenly I've been getting severe cramping behind my right leg. So I stopped taking the water pills. I talked to my surgeon about those pills & he said to definitely not take them AFTER being sleeved but in the meantime, to control my edema without taking the water pills, I should drink more water! WHAT?? But they know what they're talking about so I will continue to try to get more down.

Are you able to drink more water?
