2nd day of pre op diet

[Bunnyrabbit]

I was told I couldn't take my fluid medication. I explained to them, I swell really bad with out it. I am on the liquid diet for 7 days prior to surgery, I have done good but, I am going into my 3rd day without my meds and I am so swollen it hurts. I have gained 3 pounds of fluid. Has anyone else had this problem? I can't wear my rings or shoes right now. I drink a lot of water should I stop? Not sure what to do?

Thank you dianeseattle for responding to my post. I am on lasix to help get rid of the fluid my body holds. I have been on them for 15 years. My Doc told me it's going to be hardenough for me to keep my body hidrated after surgery and he doesn't want me taking them before surgery because they make you loose potasium which I take a potasium supplement. I work in the same building he is so if I swell like i did yesterday I will go see him. Thanks again. Have a Blessed day!
