Advice from the Women Please: Getting rid of bloating durin

jkestens63

I have horrible circulation and lymphedema. I tend to retain some water all the time anyway. However the week before and the week of TOM I almost literally stop peeing because I'm retaining/bloating so badly. I have gained 10 lbs in 3 or 4 days. I won't take diuretics offered by my doctor. I had to be on those for years when I was obese and one of my goals when I lost the weight was to come off all 18 of my medications. I've never discussed this with other ladies before - so I'm just wondering what are some of your techniques and tips for minimizing bloating and getting rid of some fluid at TOM?

I try to avoid sodium about 4 days prior so that I don't bloat. It usually helps. I also drink more tea during TOM.

watch your sodium intake, days prior too and during, eat lots of fresh fruits and veggies (peaches, cucumbers, and watermelon are all natural diuretics), and drink more water....
