Hi and welcome to the forum!! I take Lasix daily and I have taken other medications because I have a swelling condition in my brain. When you first start taking Lasix, it is usual to drop as much as four pounds in a day or two. However, for people like me, who take it all the time it does not have that affect. It is just water weight anyway so it doesn't have much to do with actual weight loss. If you are really retaining water severely, your doc may have prescribed it to help you feel better and less puffy. But in the big picture, it will not affect your weight loss one way or the other. You just have to pee a lot. Did he prescribe potassium with it? If not, you may want to supplement with potassium because Lasix will wash it out. Good luck to you! Cindi
