Anyone have problems with fingers swelling



Recommended Posts

That isn't typical. Definitely tell your doctor about it. It might be too much salt, but it could be other things too (vitamin deficiencies, circulation problems, etc).

Did you change what you wear to bed? Maybe something is too tight...

Yeah I'm going to speak to them but I was told my salt intake is low as when I get up I almost feel like passing out and am having low blood pressure but I'm getting blood work soon so we will see

Ask your doc if they think a cardiac workup would be a good idea...

I had problems like this at night. It had to do with the position I was sleeping in. The way I sleep post-op is completely different than pre-op. I was basically sleeping weird and cutting my circulation off. :lol: I had to learn how to sleep again and how to sit again.

My blood pressure is at the bottom of normal, and dips lower. Most of my family is like that. If I am going to be active I have to really keep my Fluid intake up and I can pretty much have unlimited salt. There is nothing wrong with my blood work. I just lost weight and turned delicate.

My Fluid intake is good,and I'm still on all the Vitamins. I know I get the low blood pressure when I switch from sitting to standing. One doc recommended getting more salt, so I have to get blood work done in the next few weeks and will find out. I'm not sure if my sleeping position has really changed, but it could be the reason. Last night was the worse case, woke up and couldn't get my wedding ring off and that finger never swells but now they all are doing it

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
