Hello and thank you all who have been helping my wife with me and my adema situation. We are lost yes I have all the symptoms of heart failure, but yesterday my cardialogist did a echo test and stress test he said I am fine with no heart problems. What else could be causing all this water weight and weight gain. I have gained over 50 pounds in less then two months. It started the day before i have back surgery and now that I had back surgery its gotton worse to wear it hurts now. I only eat once a day. I have sleep apnea and diabetes which doctor said will get better with weight loss, I have start of emphazima, high cholestrol. The pills I have taken are lasiks 120mg a day for two weeks now, percocete for pain and vicodin, I have taken provigil to stay awake, and I have two inhalers I take daily. Anyone with any suggetions or advice or clues to what this might be. thank you all so much.
The diabetes needs to be gotten under control immediately!!!  You need to eat 4-6 SMALL meals per day--good protein, veggies and fruit.  Watch your sodium intake (especially be cautious of processed foods--canned, frozen, etc.-fresh is best).  Chat Doctor.  Watch your carbs--whole grains are best.  Diabetes can cause serious kidney damage, which can cause edema.  You're taking a high dose of diuretic--maybe a different one would work better for you.
