I found on you tube the videos of Sherry LeBed doing light movement exercises that are effortless and get the fluid moving out of your body. You do them sitting down and because I had back surgery this was a blessing.
The first day I did them I had to run to bathroom like constantly and lost 7 pounds of fluid in 2 days. I have been doing several times a day for over 2 months and in combination with compression stockings have lost a total of 22 pounds of fluid and many inches. I can actually wear my old shoes again and have gone down 2 pant sizes.
I would recommend these exercises for anyone...they say they can do no harm as they are simple light movements.
I also do light massage starting with forehead and behind ears...I basically do anywhere lymph nodes are located....I use cocobutter oil and keep it nice and relaxed. I move toward mid-section and then I start at toes and move toward midsection.
Also remember to deep breathing all day long. It really helps get the fluid moving and gives you more energy.
