Good Morning everyone…I have a question to ask all my fellow Weight Loss Patients…

I have noticed in the past couple of months that the more fluid intake I have, the more my hands and feet start to swell really bad…I don’t know if this has happened to others and what that might mean? Now if I drink around 30oz. a day I’m good but when I go over that then my hands and feet swell up and it actually physically hurts…Now I have never had this problem before and it’s starting to concern me…Should it concern me I don’t know…Maybe I’m making to big of an issue and this is something that I just might have to deal with…I have read if you take into much salt that things like that can happen, but for me I’m not a person who likes salt at all…So I’m not pouring it on…

If anyone has any clues what it might be, I would really appreciate it…
Tomorrow I will post about poor circulation again…

I’m sitting here on a cold Sunday morning pondering things in my little head and want to know some answers, that I’m sure will not come my way at the moment…

I guess my big question is who knows exactly how much we really absorb from all the vitamins that we take? Yes, they have all of these studies out and blah, blah, blah but I don’t see them coming up with any real solutions for me or really anyone else who is having post op difficulties. Why is that? I don’t need to hear “Well keep taking your vitamins etc.” it’s like listen I’m not an idiot, I know what to do…It’s just not working for me…Why isn’t anyone looking at the bigger picture to all of this? Hey, if I have to go back to school and become a doctor to figure this all out I will… It just gets so frustrating to everyday read countless articles on so many websites, journals etc that have no real validity. I can only hope that at some point a real course of action is created that will help people with this problem. Maybe I’m that voice that needs to be heard that shouts WAKE UP MEDICAL COMMUNITY!!! This needs to be addressed so that the people that have chosen this path can have a somewhat normal existence.
