Can heat cause water retention? 6 weeks post op and retaining...

I'm 6 weeks post op today, and haven't lost any weight in the past two weeks. Last week I came back home to Germany where it's hotter than heck and there's no A/C. I'm drinking 100+ ounces of water every day, getting exercise by walking (not to mention the stairs as I live on the 4th floor). I'm doing the protein. My fingers are really swelling up though. For all the water I drink, I sweat a lot, but am lucky to have to pee more than once during any 24 hour period. The fact that I'm 6 weeks post op and am not losing anymore is really discouraging. Do you think it's massive water retention? Will I start losing when the weather cools off? Any ideas appreciated.
