So I was stuck having A LOT more sodium yesterday than usual, even drank extra water to help... and I gained!! Will the sodium and extra water leave me soon? I gained 2 pounds when I weighed in today (drank a gallon and a half instead of my usual gallon).

Give yourself a couple of days. It will go away. I believe it is normal. Same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago, and that is why I now track sodium0

This just happend to me last week/weekend....got to keep drinkin lots of water in in a few days it will flush out your system.0 -
It does go away. I ate horrible the other week and ended up over 2500mg of sodium. Just drink water and limit the sodium.0

Keep flushing it out with lots of water and watch your sodium intake and those 2lbs. should be gone within 2 or 3 days. I would recommend tracking your sodium intake for a while to get a feel for how much you normally intake-you'd be surprised! I can always guarantee a gain the next day if I have a random day of eating more sodium than normal.0
