    Swollen Feet

    I have swollen feet since I am overweight but noticed that they got better once I lost weight before on Bersteins.  Just wondering if anyone else had/has this problem and once they had surgery how much time after did it get better?

    Thanks

     I am just shy of three months out of WLS.  My feet have not swollen up very much at all in the past 2 months.  Even with the hot, humid days last week.  My feet used to swell up like balls and it hurt to walk.  Now, they feel and look great!!!!  Hope this helps you!

    Hey Sophia,

    Like the others have posted, it happened to go down after the first couple of months and stayed down.  Now occasionally I notice a bit of swelling due to heat, but not much and not to the same degree as before.

    I am 5 mths post op and my feet do not swell like they used to. In fact I need a amller shoe size. I never thought I would lose weight on my feet!

    Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

    Well, apparently I don't like to follow the crowd

    My feet would swell a lot in the summer, I thought this would be over with the surgery.... Turns out I am very sensitive to sodium.... so no more salt for me.... and for some odd reason I am noticing a link between drinking Timmies Decaf Orange Pekoe tea (with milk and splenda) and my ankles/feet swelling after......
    Even with the terribly hot/humid weather last week my ankles were fine, but yesterday, a cool afternoon, enjoyed a small Timmies Tea and by 4:30 my ankles were huge....
    Gonna bring that one up at my app't next week!!

    Crazy huh?!?!

    Well, good luck to you and may you follow the crowd on this one!!!
