how much water are you getting in? dehydration causes water retention. try drinking sipping more and call your surgeon too.

I don't get as much fluids in as I should and I do not retain any fluids...prior to surgery holy cow I did...my feet would swell so bad my poor toes couldn't even touch the floor...so I suggest that you contact your doctor about this because maybe he/she can give you something to help with the fluid retention.

Yes! Please contact your Doc about this! It could be something much more serious than fluid intake and fluid output. I don't want to scare you but retaining fluids can mean "heart" issues. Just a suggestion, mostly because my "family" has a history of heart disease. Sorry to be such an extremest.... Good Luck!

You also may want to have some bloodwork to check your kidney status.
