Swollen ankles

You lose weight in your feet, that's a given but i think the swelling issue has to do with the fact that you are not eating all the processed foods that a ladened with salt. I noticed that right off the bat, went thru a whole summer without swollen feet and i attribute that to all home made foods.

I too had very swollen ankles before surgery, they've gone down and I went from size 11 shoe to 10.  They're still a bit swollen at times, mostly the left but feeling much better.
