I was told to drink three liters a day and that other clear decaffinated liquids, without sugar count too. After transplant my kids were pushing me to drink more water and I gained 18 lbs in water weight. Then the nephrologist told me to only drink when I was thirsty. I was given a diuretic, and my weight and swelling went down. Now I’m on three liters a day plus tea.

cmael, I cannot even imagine you with 18 extra lbs. I bet you feel better with less water on you! You have wonderful daughters! They want you to do well:-)
