I'm a tick

So we're told that we have to drink, drink, drink. So I am drinking, drinking, drinking.

BUT, not to give too much TMI Fluid in is not equaling fluid out. I'm swollen like a tick. I even ate some watermelon last night as that ususally pushes right through, but it isn't happening. Now what?

Maybe try a little bit of lemon juice in your Water, a natural diuretic. Not sure if it works but others swear by it. I've never tried it.

Ok, horrible, but true, if you put on a nicotine patch or gum, it will make you dump Water and make other things happen for sure.

Warning Nicotine is addictive!!!

I take a diuretic daily due to swelling of feet, suspected to be lymphedemia. The feet don't look swollen but the skin is very tight feeling. Watermelon eaten at night usually trigger a wake up for a potty break, but nada, nothing last night. Barely a trickle every time.

Did you email Gaby and ask her?

Lemon in the Water does work btw - at least for me -- plus gives it a little bit of flavor and change from plain water.

I'll try the lemon. I'm not too surprised. I have always been a water retainer. I was actually up almost two pounds this morning. Boyis that ever frustrating. I'll have to pick up some lemons tomorrow.
