I’ve been in recovery for 3-4 weeks now, stopped exercising. I noticed since the first week water retention in my ankles and now i’m almost okay with it. But today I sat down and my thighs “expanded” a lot, they’re soft fluffly and they weren’t like that before. Definitely there’s some body dismorphia component but do you know why is this, is it because of not exercising, or is it also water retention like in my ankles? I guess what im trying to know is if this is part of the process and if it will go away

I started recovery 2 weeks ago and stopped all exercise and reduced significantly my steps. I’m eating a bit more but my team’s plan is to increase my intake slowly. I have noticed i have swollen ankles, especially in the evening/night. The left one is more inflamed than the left. Is it normal in recovery? It kinda scares me a bit…

He empezado la recuperación hace 2 semanas y una cosa que me pasa es que me despierto y desayuno y siento frío toda la mañana hasta que como a mediodía. Es normal?? Por la tarde estoy perfectamente…
He dejado de hacer todo el ejercicio y mucho movimiento. Antes paseaba a mi perro antes de desayunar y ahora me despierto y desayuno inmediatamente, no sé si eso influye. Estoy un poco asustada

Hola, he empezado la recuperación hace 2 semanas y me han pautado que deje todo el deporte y mucho movimiento. Ahora me levanto y directamente desayuno, antes daba un paseo previo. Resulta que desde que me levanto siento frío y me dura hasta la hora de la comida… me asusta, es normal? Por qué sucede?

Is it normal to poop more when starting recovery? I’ve been 1-2 weeks in recovery, stopped exercise and started eating a bit more and now i go to the bathroom like 3 times in the morning. I’m worried if this is normal or not, has anyone experienced it?

Es normal sentir mucho frío? Me tumbo con varias mantas en la cama porque me dan escalofríos. Llevo 2 semanas en recuperación y antes si, tenia frio, pero era mucho menos agudo que ahora. Por qué me pasa, es normal al empezar la recuperación o no?
