Is anyone else having difficulty with water-weight?

I am now 14 weeks post-op, (had Open RNY on May 20, 2004)and have lost only 43 lbs...before you ask, yes - I am drinking all my water, excercising daily, and making good food choices....my problem is with serious edema - I think this may be slowing me down. Some days my ankles are so swollen, they look like tree trunks! Fingers and face puffy too. Yesterday, I started lasix (diuretic), and I lost 6 lbs overnight! This problem with water-weight gain seems to be chronic with me....is anyone else having slow weight loss along with this particular symptom? If so, what did you do to address it? "Puffy"
