Drs now have me on lasix but it doesn't dp to much what can i do ?
From your subject line it sound like you may think that the bulk of your weight gain is from the fluids? If you aren't sure, you can investigate getting a full body DEXA scan which will show your actual body fat % so you can better understand what part of the weight is from retained water vs. body fat. Call around to get pricing on the DEXA scan - it can vary widely! Here in Columbus Ohio it can range from several hundred dollars to under $100.
Once you know the makeup of your body weight you can plan for the best way to tackle it!

Are you a WLS patient? Or have you not had surgery?

Start by vigilantly tracking everything you put in your mouth using a scale and something like MyFitnessPal.
