Fluid retention
I also had water retention after surgery. Had lazix & potassium tablets in hospital. I’m home now (3 wks later) and did another round of lazix & potassium. Pretty common after surgery.
I gained 10 lbs on my 105 lb body. It came off gradually over the first couple of weeks. Walking as much as you can helps the process.
