Post-C-section water retention and belly bloating are common, but they can be managed with the right approach. Since you also have high BP and a sedentary job, it’s important to focus on gentle movement, a balanced diet, and natural ways to reduce fluid retention.
Drink More Water: Sounds counterintuitive, but dehydration worsens water retention. Aim for 2-3 liters of warm water daily.
Reduce Salt Intake
Avoid sugar processed foods, pickles, canned foods, and excess table salt.
Include coconut water, barley water, coriander water, cucumber, lemon, and fennel tea to flush out excess fluids.
Drink jeera (cumin) and ajwain (carom) water in the morning
Since you sit a lot, try standing leg lifts, side bends, and arm circles every 1-2 hours.

After a C-section, recovery can take time, especially with water retention, high BP, and a sedentary job. Here's a safe and balanced approach for your condition:
For detoxification
Trifla powder 1/2 tsf with leukworm water at night
Punarnava tab 1 twice a day
Include these in your diet:
Barley (Yava) kanji or porridge
Cooked bottle gourd (lauki), ridge gourd, pumpkin
Moong dal khichdi with ghee (light on digestion)
Fresh coriander and parsley (natural diuretics)
Buttermilk with roasted jeera and rock salt post-lunch
Avoid: Cold water, curd at night, fried/oily food, white bread, sugar, and high-sodium snacks
Do bhramari pranayam
