[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 152827, member: 1991"] Star, have you tried gentle massage? For fluid build-up like that, if you can massage in long strokes towards the heart, you can help the lymphatic drainage some, at least. To stop your skin from grabbing as you massage you can use either talc or oil. I use either olive oil from the kitchen or coconut oil, I get various grades of scented coconut oil from Fiji (really cheap). It can also make you feel a bit pampered, which can make you feel better about yourself. If you've not lost any weight but you think you have fluid build-up, you MAY have lost some fat and just not be able to measure it. If/when you can get the fluid problem sorted, you may find that you're doing better than you think. Hugs, hon. Marg [/QUOTE]
