question for ya all....

Has anyone experienced swelling in the arms, hands or legs? The past few days I have been noticing that I am retaining fluid. I wake up in the afternoons (I am working the dreaded graveyard shift....) and I am puffy.. I also wake up from my sleep with my arms going asleep on me. Pre-op, this would be an everyday occurrence for me. Me being overweight would cause the nerves to pinch under my arms and give me numbness and pain in my arms. I have not had this problem sense have lost weight. I plan on going to my PCP if it continues, but I wanted to throw it out to my post op buddies to see if anyone had any ideas for me.  One thing that I need to do is drink more water and eat more protein the next few days to see if that helps. To be quite honest.... I have not been making great choices...  I have not been drinking any liquids besides coffee. (hight test, not decaf)  Graveyard shift plays havoc on my system. Hope everyone has a great weekend. I am getting ready to go work.... BLAHHH Tootles! Cath
