bloated

[flwrgrlie]

Is anyone else suffering from uncomfortable bloating? By the end of the day I feel like I'm going to pop! I'm running to the bathroom quite a bit but I still have that really uncomfortable bloated feeling. It's the end of day 5 for me. Is this normal? Are water pills ok to take? They make you drink more so could they be all that bad?

{hi} there Flwrgrlie

PLEASE DON'T POP!!! {oops}

Sometimes you can feel bloated if you drink too much water.

If your diet food is very different from the food you use to eat before going on diet, it can happen that your tummy may need a bit of time to get use to this.

Do you suffer from IBS? Bloating can be a typical symptom of IBS...

If that is the case, Dr Cohen recommends that you please eliminate the following to see if the condition improves:
Cabbage
Cauliflower
Onion
And remove the skin from Apple

If the condition does not improve, it would be wise to consult your personal doctor.

Oh well, I hope you feel much better soon! {grouphug1}

YES! And it was HARD. It was Superbowl weekend. Sat, I was fine but Sun, at the party it was REALLY DIFFICULT! ALL THAT YUMMY NON-DIET FOOD. It's really the smell of it all that makes it hard. Plus, everyone around me drinking. I"'m not a particularly big drinker but just the fact that I don't have a choice makes it harder. I just kept telling myself that the payoff of being thin was worth any sacrifice. I chewed gum and ate my fruit. I DID IT!!! I SURVIVED A WEEKEND AROUND LOTS OF NON-DIET FOOD AND WASN'T BAD ONCE! The weekend is usually where I fail on all my diets. My strategy: when I was feeling really weak - I would log onto the forum and I read the success stories. It really put my mind back on track and I would go back to the party with new determination. Thank you ALISON! and thank you, Sasha, for checking on me. :hug::dance::dance:
