Retaining Water

[LJS69 0]

I have gained 2.4 pounds in 2 days (and only eating 3 cups of food per day). My rings aren't as loose as they were a few days ago. Does anyone know if this normal for other people and if there is anything that you can do about it??

Most of your body is Fluid. It will go up and down. If you don't have a history of heart problems, etc., then it is absolutely normal.

I can only say for me this is pretty normal- I seem to have a range instead of a set weight, depending on the time of month and if I was eatting really salty foods ( like too many nuts)

Mine goes up and down 2-3 pounds every couple of days. I never know what number will show up! I've always been this way and so I'm used to it.

I havent weighed since my one week post op check up. I am going to wait until I go in again on the 21 of May before I weigh again. I dont want to see the daily fluctuations...I think that would be depressing and not helpful for me at all!!! I am sure it is Water weight when you fluctuate up and down in a day or two though. Unless it is muscle replacing fat!!!

When I'm drinking my Water I don't fluctuate as much.....

I ALWAYS gage what the scale says with how my rings fit!

I know I will be up if they are snug or tight and if they twirl freely I'm good!
