A question for the ladies...

Laxatives?
So I've got a question. I took a laxative last night (I hadn't gone to the bathroom in three days, not because I thought it was the quick way to lose weight...That's unhealthy!) and for some reason, when I stepped on the scale this morning, I had gained almost three pounds from what I was the previous two days.
