Water...tmi

[Paola 62]

For the past 2 weeks the scale hasn't moved, I have been loosing inches, and that makes me super happy! What I find weird is that I am drinking more Water now but I go less to the bathroom to pee. I keep track of what I drink everyday and I have been working on drinking more, I am up to 80 oz this week, and none of it is coffee. I drink 20oz of Protein shakes and 60 oz of Water. Before my scale stopped moving I had a direct route, I would drink some water and 10 mins later go pee it, yesterday I drank 40 oz before I went to the bathroom. Is this normal? The only time I sweat is during my 30 mins exercise in the morning.

Any thoughts are welcome!

It sounds like your body is holding on to the Water. The B12 is suppose to help with that I think. Usually I get the b-12 shot from my doctor, it really helps more than the tablets. The shot makes me go every 5-10 minutes lol.

Maybe you've been consuming more sodium lately?

My sodium intake is less than 1500, between 1100-1400, I track my Protein, carbs, Fiber, fat and sodium with myfitnesspal.com. I don't actually know how much is too much after this surgery.

When I was in my all-water-all-the-time phase, I would pee about once per Nalgene bottle, or after every liter (32oz). I took this as my body getting used to my Water ingestion and using it how it was meant to be used and my bladder working efficiently.

glad you asked this question.. I dont urinate as frequently either.. our bodies are adjusting to so much

u may have to decrease sodium a tad, its natural that ur body is fighting the weight loss

[Reddi4change 27]

i always pee after i sip 1 ounce every 5 minutes for a hour for some reason

You know... I noticed this also. I've also done a cycle/spinning class and a good workout on the elliptical and weights the past couple days and I used to sweat buckets doing both, however, I just barely broke a sweat. Yep, chalk it up to the body adjusting. We've gone through a huge change in the past several weeks. For me, Tuesday, 2/14, will mark the 4 weeks post-surgery milestone. It's been a long wonderful (at times) transitional month so far.
