sodium weight/bloat how long to go away?

zoeylover895

I gained 6 pounds of sodium weight from eating crap. I went from 108 to 114. It usually takes me 2 days to get back to normal. Its been one day, and now I'm 111. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be back to 108!

Sodium wreaks havoc on me as I get older. Never even thought about it until I started tracking it here. Lately it's been 3, sometimes 4 days before it flushes out. It can be frustrating for sure but at least I know what it is. Dealing with it right now and just waiting.... :-)

I recently swore off weighing myself until next month because I broke myleg and was taking percoset, then I had a catarat operation. I know I'm bloated, but my clothes still fit. I think it's important not to get stressed over water bloat because it's temporary.

I find after chinese food it takes 2 to 3 days for that extra sodium to disappear - drinking extra water doesn't even help me but at least its temporary

For me it's between 1-3 days. Depends on how far over I've gone. Some extra fiber seems to help me shorten that time frame.

It depends on what I eat and how much water I drink the the following days.

I'm glad somebody resurrected this thread. I was wondering about this.

I know this is old, but sodium kills me. I'm a 3-4 day'er myself.

Sodium kills me. When ever I take in bunches, I think, "I guess it's not making me bloat much this time!" and then a couple days later, I feel so much better, lol.

Less sodium every day - that has to be my next battle. It's so important. The MFP number is set way too high and I exceed that sometimes.

My poor cardiovascular system had to deal with all that fat. It needs a break.
