I love pickles but every time I eat one. I temporarily gain 2 lbs the next day. I need to find some tasty low sodium ones. It's not the weight that bothers me but more why does my body DO that? grrrr

I had mild edema before surgery too, I would get swelling in my feet, ankles and calves quite a bit (especially after sitting for long periods of time). It has totally vanished, now. I think part of it was because I was chronically dehydrated due to all the Coke I was drinking, and probably other issues related to weight. But after dropping a bunch of weight, it has disappeared. So it may resolve itself over time. But yeah, salt just makes you swell up unless you also have enough potassium in your diet to help regulate the sodium intake, and potassium isn't something you can really supplement, it has to come primarily from food. Bananas and Broccoli!
