I am just wondering how bad everyone gets bloating around TOM and how do you deal with it. I never noticed it before I lost weight...I never weighed myself and a few pounds here and there probably wouldn't have made a difference. But not that I am at goal, the bloat and water retention is brutal! In the last 2 days my weight has went up 6 lbs, and that is not a typo! It is not even humanly possible to gain that much weight in 2 days, and my belly is swollen, even my feet and ankles. It is really depressing, even though I know what it is and I try to remember that it will go away in a few days. Does anyone else have such bad bloating? Have you found a good way to deal with it more naturally?

Have you talked to your doctor??? do you:

live in a hot climate?

eat a lot of salted foods or add salt?

Getting your period or menopausal?

Try drinking the water after boiling asparagus.

but first and foremost call your doctor.

I don't think that is normal, please call you doctor! Good luck...keep us posted.

I have talked to my doctor, who suggested the pill, which I do not want to take. And I live in Canada, far from a hot climate! It is coming up on summer, but it has been far from hot. I am 34 and still getting my period is pretty regular....just brutal to deal with!
