Post LBL swelling

My swelling seems to be worse now than earlier on.  And it is so RANDOM.  It isn't associated with lack of fluids, or exercise, or lack of exercise.  It either happens or doesn't happen.  Today I'm in my Spanx to see if it helps.

Any ideas on what I can do?  Do I need to worry?  I'm either swollen or I've packed on some serious post holiday fat in my midsection...which the scale doesn't show......

 

 

Hey Kim:  Hope that you are well.  Just curious...so you are exercising?  Is that realativley new thing for you?  My swelling in my abdomen is minimal but it happens and usually at night after a long day of moving around.  I know that you said it was random, but what about time of day?

Not really new, but i think I'm noticing it more since I'm no longer in compression. Yes, I'm exercising and yes evening is when I notice it most. Sometimes when I run I don't have additional swelling and sometimes I swell when I've spent most of the day on the couch. Today it feels better from wearing the Spanx all day.

It really is as if my mid section has a mind of its own!

LOL, I will be wearing my compression garments for a long time.  I wonder if that is the variable.  I start working again on Wednesday so I will be curious to find out what goes on with my swelling.  I'll let you know what happens to me, to hopefully gain insight on this swelling issue :-)

My TY swelling seems to have no rhyme or reason either. It really boggles my mind, actually! One day I'm flat all day, next day I look 5 months pregnant...I don't get it!

I have major abdominal swelling and im 6 weeks out. Its much worse now than at 3 weeks out. Sucks. Youre not alone!

thank goodness for the camaraderie- I hate the swelling!!! it is really random, and when I swell I'm uncomfortable and I usually feel like I've done something to cause it. and its just... random.
