Suddenly, 3.5 months post-op I am retaining fluid again - why????

I have swelling in my feet and legs, my fingers, and this morning even my face seems swollen - I've gained 4 pounds in fluid over the past week. I've started drinking more water - 3 quarts a day for the past 4 days and yesterday I started taking an OTC water pill. I'm still swollen but I also feel dehydrated - my mucous membranes feel dry and I'm thirsty. Help!!!
