Hi everyone. I was wondering if ANYONE out there had edema in their feet and or legs weeks after surgery. I haven't had any IV fluids for almost 2 weeks now, and my feet/ankles/legs are swollen. I can still walk, exercise on them which is great, but it seems ever since I had IV fluids 2 weeks ago I'm swollen. Gained 7 lbs water weight last week, now 3 came off, but legs and tummy seem to be retaining some water.

 

What may be part of the problem is that I am due for my period in the next few days. I get that about my tummy feeling water logged.. But I feel like I'm gaining weight and I'm just a bit irritated about it honestly. I get I'm PMSing, but for 2 weeks my legs and tummy are swollen? I hope this isn't some new PMS symptom of mine! Lol

 

Can someone pleaaaaase tell me something. Is it in my head? Bc I'm getting discouraged. 😔

im on soft foods, fish, cheese, tofu only as directed.

I agree that calling your surgeon is what you should do.

I think you need to call your surgeon. Fluid retention can be very dangerous, and needs to be addressed quickly. Hopefully it's nothing serious, but better safe than sorry.
