    Don't bother with the lasix. You'll feel like total crap.

    You're better off with something herbal like dandelion root or just drop your carbs and you'll hold less water.

    Why are you taking the prednisone? Maybe your doctor can prescribe you a mild diuretic like dyazide.

    If it's only for 7 days then I wouldn't worry too much about the water weight. It will come off. Lasix seem way to extreme to me for this situation.

    7 days of prednisone shouldn't make you hold that much water. If it does get to you try some taraxatone which is basically b6, and dandelion root anyhow.

    If you plan on taking Lasix, use the minimal amount. Trust me, the shit works, and if you do take it, be sure to get plenty of potassium in your diet.

    No reason to take lasix in this case. You will lose the excess water in no time with proper water intake and a low sodium diet. Lasix is an upredictable drug and not worth using in your case.
