Keep an eye on your weight
It is important to closely monitor your weight because this will indicate whether you are retaining too much fluid. Weigh yourself every morning after going to the toilet and before getting dressed, and keep a daily record. Ask your Nurse for advice if you are not sure how to do this.
If your weight seems to be increasing over a number of days, you may be retaining too much fluid. This may need treating promptly. Report any weight gain to your Nurse or doctor.
• Try to ensure that you weigh yourself at the same time every day.
