Guest guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Dear Kizzersmom; Yes, I have this problem too, but if I don't eat, I start losing weight quickly. The ascites makes you puff up. You can either restrict water/fluids or talk to your Doctor about other meds to help. Regards, Joe -------------- Original message from "kizzersmom" : -------------- Hi, all. I'm hoping some of you may be able to shed some light on this. I know a lot of people are talking about trying to keep weight on, but lately I've noticed my weight going up. (I'm also "returning" food less often even though nausea keeps persisting). I've also noticed that right after I eat or drink, no matter the amount, I start to swell and am noticeably bigger than before I consumed anything. I know some other people have mentioned this too, but are you gaining weight with the swelling? I just feel like I am filled with wet heavy sandbags and old tires. My body doesn't even feel like it belongs to me anymore. Has anyone else gone through this? Anyone have any suggestions?Sandi in VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
