Water Weight Gain with Cold and Cycle

[SleeveandRNYchica 1,155]

Has anyone gained Water weight while taking OTC's? Last week was a weird week. I got really sick (cold) and was on my cycle. I gained 7lbs. I knew it could not be right. Granted I had not worked out since last Thursday, but knew there was NO way I could gain 7lbs! I dropped 4 of those lbs yesterday. I am still suffering with congestion, but feel much better. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I go to Drs 1st week of April and will talk to him about it then as well. I was actually drinking more water to help flush out the cold and eating less. I knew I was not flushing because my urinating was not the greatest.

No silly. I have been sick this week and same. Likely to do with cold medicines. No cycle for me anymore but even before surgery would gain 3-5 Water

Okay! I was beginning to think I was weird! Can OTCs really make a person gain that much Water weight?

Just guess it depends on a lot of things. Hiw much salt did we have? i was not eating tight so maybe it was holing on for life? Between the meds and feeling like total shyt! I honestly did not even care! Now that fever gone and thinking correctly I CARE! .

I felt the same way! I felt like crap and was like whatever! Then the 4 lbs dropped, but just trying to figure it all out. I still feel like this sleeve is a guessing game.
