Tingly hands?

[no onions 258]

(7 days out of surgery)

I will be calling my Dr tomorrow morning, but wanted to throw this out there. My hands have felt kind of tingly a few times today. I'm not nearly where I need to be with Protein and probably lower on my liquid intake. I'm doing better with both each day, but the hypochondriac/worrier inside is making me extra cautious about the speed/quantity of consuming anything. I will do anything to avoid vomiting/discomfort.

I'm good (compliant) on all my Vitamins and prescriptions.

i had the same issue a week or so after surgery. once I was able to get in my 64oz of Water daily it went away. so I'm thinking it was related to the lack of hydration.

I'm glad you're being cautious and calling your doctor! It's probably nothing, but the nurse in me can't help but worry about tingling/numbness of the hands, arms, chest, or face. Please give us an update!

Thanks all for the replies - quick update here. I did talk to the nurse yesterday and she suggested (as I suspected) that fluids will help. I worked really hard at upping my Fluid intake and Protein yesterday and have not experienced the tingly hands or lightheaded feeling (which I failed to mention in my original post).

I woke up this morning super-early - that's a new one for me. Hoping maybe a trend, would love to be just a bit more of a morning person. :-)
