are you in menopause. I remember when I hit menopause, the same thing happened. Also maybe the medicine you are on for the pocd especially steriods would do it. I would talk to doctor and see what they say. Hope this helps

talk to your MD. Sometimes with COPD you can retain a lot of fluid. Are you on a diuretic? (I'm an RN, not just some random crazy person)

Are you sure you're not doing anything different? Are you exercising? Are you tracking every bite that goes into your mouth?? If so, how many calories are you eating? I usually eat 2000 calories a day. When I'm up a few, I track everything I eat and cut back to 1300 calories a day. The extra pounds quickly disappear.

I agree with checking the potential side effects of some of your meds.

Also, what type of surgery did you have?

We need more info. How many calories are you eating a day? How much protein? What is your % of carbs/fat/protein? How often and what kind of exercise are you doing? How much water do you drink a day? Do you drink with your meals? Are you taking all your vitamins?
