Hi Tanu ~

I'm Kris. I've been on the SBD for 3 days now & i've lost 3 Lbs!!!!!!! I've got to up my water intake b/c i get very bloated, too & i've noticed that when i drink a lot of water i not only feel better, my pants fit better :-)

How "off track" did you get w/ the SBD??? Sounds like your still staying away from the "bad" foods. I think this group will help you stay on track. It's helped me along the past 3 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

---Hi Tanu. Welcome! Swollen feet/ankles/legs can certainly be a

sign of either water retention or high blood pressure or both. He or

she may want to put you on a directic pill to help remove the water.

If you have high BP they often will prescribe a directic with the

HBP meds. Strange as it may seem, do continue to drink lots of water

though. It's important to keep flushing your system out. The more

you drink the better for this problem. I have HBP and take BP meds

and directic and I have encountered this problem in the past.

Increasing the amt of water you consume will only help not hurt you.

Good luck...

Not trying freak you out or anything, but

swollen feet, ankles, and legs can also be symptoms of congestive heart

failure. Not that I suspect that is the problem, but you really should see

your doctor as soon as possible to make sure.

I agree 100%. Feet that swell that much that fast are in need of

IMMEDIATE medical attention. Been there!!!
