Retaining Fluid

Hi, I had my roux-en-y surgery on January 31 and have lost 25 pounds so far.  But this week I seem to be retaining a lot of water and have only lost 2 pounds, very discouraging!  I'm trying to drink a lot but have been eating a lot of canned chicken which is high in sodium.  Does anyone have any ideas for me to get rid of this fluid so I can start losing weight again?  Thanks!

Since you are only a month out, probably the best thing for you to do is call the office & ask them what they recommend. They have a dietitian who can give you some ideas of phase 2 foods that have less sodium but lots of protein and if  you are retaining fluid, they'd probably want to know that too. Dixie
