Quickest way to get rid of retained water?

Question

I retain water worse than a camel!!!! Can someone PLEASE give me suggestions of how to get rid of the water weight as quickly as possible. I feel like a water balloon!

I found a box of diurex that I had bought for other problems. Problem is the suggested dosage part of the package is missing. Can someone tell me how many of them to take and how often?

Naj- all the suggestions sound great. Most of them I could live with. Then you had to take away my morning cup of joe, by bud~light after work, and you don't even want to see me without my Marlboro's LMAO. Maybe this is why I have so much water retention...hmmm something to ponder. Thank you :)

Answer 1

Drink plenty of water. Eight (8) glasses a day are minimum.

v Consider a whole foods diet. Focus on whole grains and watery vegetables. Increase you intake of raw food: A high fiber diet is important. Good sources of protein are eggs, broiled white fish, broiled skinless chicken and turkey and bison. Avoid foods that tend to worsen edema: caffeine, alcohol, salt, fried foods, dairy products, animal protein, gravies, white sugar, white flour, chocolate, olives, pickles, tobacco, soy sauce.

v Shake the salt habit. Too much salt makes your body retain fluid. 2000 milligrams of sodium a day is considered safe for a healthy adult. One half teaspoon of table salt is equal to 1150 milligrams

v Exercise daily. Activities like walking, bicycling and tennis help pump out water and other fluids that accumulate in legs and ankles. Exercising in water gives great results as water pressure forces fluid out of tissues and into the bladder. Flexing your legs while sitting is good for people who are limited in their activity.

v Consider supplements: vitamin B complex, potassium, vitamin C, and pantothenic acid. You can take up to 200 mg. of B6 daily to help reduce premenstrual water retention. Higher doses should be under the supervision of your health care provider. A calcium supplement may provide relief from premenstrual water retention. Check with your health care professional about taking any of these supplements.

v Elevate your legs for a few minutes each day. If pregnant, lie on your side with feet propped up on a stack of pillows.

v Avoid constricting clothing, ill-fitting footwear and hosiery

Answer 2

There is a drug (pill) called Lasix. It's used primarily for congestive heart problems but it's designed to get rid of excessive water. Check with your doctor and see what he/she says. be aware though. About 20 minutes after you take the pill...you'll have to urinate. This will go on for every 30 minutes to an hour for at least 3 or 4 hours. Not to mention it isn't the "Oh...I'll just wait to go to the bathroom". You can't. When you have to go you need to go NOW!

Good luck
