One of my issues with being overweight is the amount of fluid retained in my lower legs. You could push on my shins and the dent your fingers would leave would be large and stay around for a while. It would do this almost up to my knees. I wore diabetic socks even though I wasnt diabetic because of the swelling. Well today I knew I had lost a lot of water weight I could feel it. ( I got my period the day of discharge from the hospital and I knew I hadnt lost much on the 2 weeks of liquids do to retention) My lower legs arent swollen! I can push on them and nothing. I have shin bones! I know this isnt some huge deal and its so soon after surgery but still I cant believe it! That is amazing to me!

Ugh, I was SO happy when I got my period a couple weeks before because it meant I wouldn't have to deal with THAT TOO! It's hard enough to wipe in certain areas at first. LOL. But I did get spotting a couple days ago, weird. I wonder if my hormones changed that quickly.

Could be mine was due two weeks before but never showed I was hoping I would just skip it. Although I guess vein on narcotics with PMS was a bonus...especially for my DH.
