    Mine got back to normal shortly after having the baby!  Happy, happy day.  I am going to try to put my wedding ring on tomorrow for the the first time in 9 months...

    I know!  I have been so tired of laying down, so I went for a walk.  Now they are puffy :(

    Mine too, I tried laying on my left side as much as I can, foot baths, ice packs, they are just big and huge!

    Yep count me in. But oddly my eft is larger than my right.

    I need to go find some watermelon.

    I've had cankles for a months now and have been complaining to my DH about them - he would always just dismiss it and say something like "oh honey, you're beautiful...".  Then last weekend we were leaving the house and he looked down at my feet, pointed and said "your feet are really swollen!"  I was like "DUH!!".  Then it was like a light went on for him and he apologized right away.  (DH has that common afflication of speaking before he thinks).

    I was just going to post the same thing! They freakin hurt. And here in NJ, we are actually pretty lucky that it hasn't been over 85. I soaked them in a tiny bucket yesterday. Today the mission is to find a bigger bucket where my feet have some room to move.

    I'm starting to deal with this too.  And here I was, feeling lucky that my skinny feet weren't swelling. HA! 

    While it actually isn't too bad for me, they do swell and my feet actually hurt at the end of the day. And I wake up to swollen fingers every morning. But they go down a bit during the day (not enough for me to put my rings on, however).

    I just ordered slip on sneakers and slides from Lands' End (both totaled $34.98 with free shipping) so I can wear those, along with my flip flops. I've given up on my Reeboks and Merrells. No laces... too tight.

    Mine too. They get horrible at work then go down at night except the last couple of days my left one does not go back to normal, it gets smaller but not completely normal.

    Also the leg cramps are killing me.

    Same here, swollen feet, swollen hands, I think my face is getting puffy too! I am typing really slowly at work because of my hands and I keep dropping things. It's like working with ski gloves on. When I get out of bed in the morning it hurts to walk on my feet. I am wearing the compression socks I got from my podiatrist for the swelling when I had my fractured foot. They help but leave a hideous band around my ankles, or should I say cankles. My doctor said to drink more water, eat less salt, I am trying but I feel like a water balloon and am craving pretzel sticks.

    Thanks ladies! I wouldn't wish these poofy extremities on anyone, but it's still nice to know I'm not alone.
