The first two weeks my ankles are bony but this is the third week and they are swollen for the last two days. Is it because I'm eating solid again? I don't add salt to my food. I try to stay under 1000 calories. I hope it isn't my heart.

Are you drinking enough fluids... sometimes your body retains water if you are dehydrated... check the color of your pee... if its darker than the color of a baby chicken... you are dehydrated..

I think it was my monthly, lol. They went back to normal on the last day of my period. Thanks!

I'm 8 months post-surgery and while I'm now having actual visible ankles (not cankles!) on most days, I still get puffy ankles sometimes. It's just a normal part of Water retention, hormonal cycles, responses to certain kinds of food, and variations in my activity and Fluid intake. Don't freak out! *grin* You're okay.
