What Is The Max Weight You Have Lost From Reducing Swelling In A Few Days?

I ask because I feel like at least 30lbs could be water.

Nope. But then again I think my belly is from cupcakes and pretzels

Kelly,
At your recent appointments did anyone do this?
...semi seated, head to left, then do a hard press on right abdomen?.....
If there's excess fluid the jugular vein in your neck will bulge out from the fluid.
Has anyone else had this done?

I lost 12# in a week and 25# in a month. Furosemide 40mg daily. I'm off of it now as I'm very strict on my 2000cc fluids

Hi Kelly, Yes, I lost about 20 pounds very quick, within a month. Some due to the fluid pill and some to the loss of appetite. My joints aren't stiff and I have lost most of my double chin. Hahaha.
I still need to lose some weight but I can move and breath so much easier now.

My word, is that what they're doing, Debra953??? Thank you for posting! It's been almost 4 years I've lived with this diagnosis, and every single appointment she does this but my head is already swirling with other things we've discussed, I just never asked specifics!
