Question:
DOES ANYONE ELSE FEEL LIKE THEY ARE RETAINING WATER?

EVER SINCE I HAVE HAD SURGERY (RNY) 8 WEEKS AND 68 POUNDS AGO. I FEEL LIKE I AM RETAINING WATER REALLY BAD I HAVE ALOT OF SWELLING IN MY LEGS AND FINGERS. I WENT TODAY FOR BLOOD WORK I HOPE THAT THIS TELLS THE DOCTOR WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECATED. FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL ME AT [email protected]    — DAVID P.

I have a problem with retaining water also. My feet swell unbelievably. I have found that water is the key. It's difficult to get as much as we're supposed to down each day and when I don't my feet get huge. One weekend, I lost 8 pounds after conciously forcing myself to drink 64 onces of water. Water is the key...simple as that. I've lost 63 pounds in less than 3 months
