I have heart failure. Always been slim, always very active and sporty but last few months gained a stone in weight due to fluid retention around heart, feet and ankles. Because have atrial fibrillation as well had cardioversion in hope I could get back to vigorous e ercise. That was yesterday and told successful but still having difficulty breathing. Good diet, In fact excellent diet but can't seem to get rid of that additional one stone. Some days I appear to loose half of it only to get it back next day so all suggestions welcome.

Hi Nuppi
Welcome to the Healthy eating forum. I like your photo of all your groceries - lots of healthy foods there, and I would like to wish you the best for your recuperation following your cardioversion.

I think this is something you should be discussing with your doctor. From a quick read the water retention may be a side effect of your heart condition, so it might take a while to normalise after your procedure.
