Off Topic Swollen Feet And Ankles

Hi everyone, I went to Hershey park this past weekend with my Daughter's Brownie troop and we walked about two miles, my feet and Ankles are very swollen and this is two days later. Is this something I should freek out about? Has anyone else ever experienced this? They are swollen enough that I can push and leave a dent. Help please. Thanx, Cheris

Cheris Are you drinking enough water?  With the weather hotter and the walking, that could be it. Plus if you are eating salty foods , I would cut them out.  I had swelling really bad prior to my RNY, to the point I had to get lasix injections and two days later would lose 15 pounds of fluid.  Now after being almost 22 months post op i still swell some but not even close to what i did before.maybe 5-7 pounds or less.  If I don't drink alot of fluids and exercise alot, i swell, If i eat alot of salt, i swell.  If your fluid retention seems excessive, you really should think about seeing your medical doctor. hugs 

Cheris - not meaning to scare you but this sounds excessive to me and you really need to go and see your doctor and see if they can get to the bottom of what is causing the fluid retention. Swelling 2 days letter is not normal to me and needs to be checked out....

Hi Thanx you guys,  I am calling my PC Doc this Am. They are a little better today but I don't want to take any chances. Cheris
