Watermellon to the rescue!

Hi ladies!

My dh bought a watermellon two days ago & since I've been eating it I have eliminated quite a bit of water. But the best thing is is that the swelling in my feet have gone down quite a bit!

Just don't eat it close to bedtime, otherwise you'll be making more bathroom trips during the night!! :lol:

Thought I'd post this for those of you who are struggling with swelling, maybe it'll help for you too...

Also remember, the more water you eliminate the more you have to drink

Have a great day!

 

My feet are a little puffy, I'll have to ask DH to get some on his way home from work. Thanks for the tip!

 

Wow thanks for the tip, i had no idea....i'll be sure to pick some up tonite

MMM, thanks for the tip. I'll have to get some. I'm not really swelling a lot but now I want watermelon!

 

i love watermelon!

 

also, add lemon to your water. adding lemon to your own taste helps with fluid retention. my nurses were forever bringing me lemons!

 

i wish watermelons were in season here. Ive been dying to have some..My feet are already swelling, its gonna be a LONG summer for me..lol oh well...

thanks for the tip..I need to get some lemons..I know bananas are a directic but they arent helping me right now..

 

Watermelon always helped me with my nausea in the first stages of pregnancy, too!

 

DH just brought one home from the grocery yesterday. I didn't think about it helping with the swelling. Thanks for the tip.
