We must remember that people of all shapes and sizes are diagnosed with lipoedema. Some people it might only affect their thighs, some people might be in more pain than others.

Can you gain weight from lymphedema?

The short answer is YES! I'm now 30 pounds heavier (and living a much healthier lifestyle 🤣) than I was before I developed lymphedema. As my lymphedema progressed in my body, my scale increased incrementally.

I talk to so many people who always make the disclaimer that they used to weigh less and feel embarrassed when giving me their information. It hurts my heart because I completely get how they feel.

Unfortunately, there is no magic pill, diuretics won't help! In fact, when it comes to lymphedema, diuretics actually increase the protein concentration in the lymph fluid which overtime can make swelling worse.

The REAL way to help your lymphedema and manage your weight is by wearing compression garments (I swear by Solidea Active Massage although it's not for everyone), and taking care of yourself through gentle exercise, healthy nutrition, and rest!

I was curious if weight gain was just the backup of lymph fluid, or if something else contributed to it. I found some research that shows people with chronic lymphedema are more likely to see weight gain not just because of the fluid in the affected area, but also due to a change in stem cell behavior.
