Hey everyone,
So lately I have been losing weight which is great, I am finally getting more of my old figure back. But along with this has come extreme fluid retention. Like one day I look skinnier, my mom even notices and compliments me and I feel great. The very next day, though I have been dieting, I look like I have gained three to five pounds. My mom is shocked by how different I can look from day to day also. I don’t know what to do, is this just fluid retention? Has anyone else gone through this? How do I get rid of this? I try to drink lots of fluids and go for walks, but this happens more and more. Thoughts and advice are appreciated!
Blessings and prayers
I’m not really sure - think your doctor would be the best to ask. My first question would be what kind of fluids are you drinking? Water is the best way to hydrate yourself without adding caffeine, sugars or chemicals to your body, which may be the cause of the retention. Even the foods we eat can cause our bodies to retain fluid. Things like salty foods or even the weather can do so too. Even our medications can cause this - that is why I would check eith your doctor. Congratulations on your weightloss!!! Good job hugs ~ Sandi
Hi Ahava,
I'm wondering how you're doing, if you still have the swelling? I have the same issues, but mine is mostly medication related. Are you only taking the homeopathic supplements now?
The heat seems to make it worse for me also, and summer is not the time I want to look so swollen!
Let us know how you're doing-
Renie♥
