slight gain.......

[TinkerPixie]

Does anyone else have a problem with TOM? I have a three pound gain, and I haven't been doing any extra eating, so all I can figure is water weight gain for TOM.
I sure hope thats all it is!

Oh yes. I am up 2 lbs this morning... and it is definitely water weight from the fact that TOM is due anyday now. I know what it is... but it does not make it any easier to accept.

Just wait until menopause, ladies Idiopathic edema is a terribly frustrating thing.

The fluid will be gone soon, just hang in there.

Katholyn, it helps to know I'm not the only one with that problem! It really is frustrating sometimes. I know by my puffiness what the problem is, but my scale can't seem to tell the difference!

Susan,

I know this might sound odd, but one thing that seems to help with the fluid is making sure I'm drinking lots of water around that time.

Maybe it helps your body "flush out" the extra fluid? I don't know the science behind it, but it seems to make a difference for me.

(Maybe it's just all that extra excercise I get making those frequent trips to get rid of the water!! )
