I normally swell a little during that TOM, but this time it was ridiculous! I couldn't even put my wedding rings on and my hands actually hurt. Does anyone know of any natural diuretics that actually work?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Increase your dietary potassium.0

Cucumbers are a natural diuretic and seem to work great on every part of the body except for my breast. Regardless of how many I eat during that TOM, they still look like melons.0

Dealing with this currently. I usually just drink a bunch of water and avoid the scales. The whole thing lasts about 2 weeks honestly. I start to retain water a week before TOM, and doesn't completely go away until almost a week after.0
