I have the same problem. 3 weeks post op and still happens. My doctor told me it is related to my heart. She said that my heart has a hard time pumping the blood back up my body so it basically pools in my feet, ankles and lower legs. Sitting in a recliner position really helps. Hopefully it will pass after I lose weight.

6/24/19 was my rny surgery date. The first 2 weeks was emotionally hard for me. Thinking of all the things I can’t have. Not being able to go out to eat like I used to. Just feeling sorry for myself. But since I have been advanced to the next stage of my post op diet I feel much better physically and emotionally. I have eaten some things I am not supposed to. Even though it’s just a little nibble I feel so bad and get upset with myself. I feel like I’m not losing as fast as others but in reality I think I am doing ok. My clothes don’t fit me anymore and I have way more energy. I’m am starting to accept my new life with my new pouch. It’s been a roller coaster of emotions in a short time but I’m glad I went through with it.

Is Weight Loss Surgery for Me?

I was very excited to have the surgery (rny 6/24/19). Took many years to finally get the courage to go forward with it. I can say emotionally the first 2 weeks were so hard for me. I had regret but I realized after the 2nd week my regrets were stemming from my food addiction. I started thinking of all the foods I can’t eat, the poor me feelings came out as they had with every diet before. But now with this tool I am limited by how much I can eat at one time. It is still up to me not to snack or nibble all day. It’s not hard though because I’m not that hungry. I do have head hunger but I don’t give in to it. I only want food that will keep me healthy so the cravings although still there do not outweigh my desire to be healthy. That is the main reason for my surgery. I am 3 weeks 2 days post op and I am down 16 lbs. I have more energy and feel so much better in my clothes. After getting past the 2 -3 week hump I no longer have regrets. I still miss the food I used to eat at times but that is something I have to work on on the inside. The surgery will not “fix” that.
