Gaining and fluid buildup in legs

Try wearing knee length compression socks. They really help squeeze the fluid out. Also, consider taking a mild diuretic. That helps excreting the extra fluid fluid. It allows you to enjoy more smoothies or gainer shakes to stay hydrated. Finally, sit with your legs up while you eat. That helps the fluid to drain out. Hope this helps.
