Puff The Magic Dragon

By Kime-lou

Sunday I finally saw something I had been waiting years to see....199.2 on the scale. I was so excited to finally be below the 200 mark, which I am sure most of you can understand. Flash forward to this morning 201.8 - the wonderful water weight gain.

 

When I woke up this morning I knew instantly I was retaining. My eyes and face were puffy, my hands felt tight. According to by BC pill pack next week is my TOM. Even though I haven't had a period since surgery (no, not pregnant) I still have the water weight gain and the wonderful moods.

 

Right now I ache, my back hurts, my face hurts - how in the world did I manage to pack on that much water over night? By band is NOT happy about this- I barely got my special K down this morning. Frankly, I am getting reflux from my water this morning. So it's all liquids today until this water gets out of me.

 

Anyone got any ideas how to flush the water out aside from fluid pills? I don't like being Puff the not so magic dragon.

    I've heard that water steeped with parsely acts as a natural diaretic.

    I totally understand the scale. I am way past monthly's but I had some salted food yesterday and my weight went up a drop. My son told me to throw out the scale, I can't, it's mine! When I did have monthly's I gained a lot of water weight and always held my salt. Maybe next week at this time you will see 196!

    Good luck.
