Has anyone else had this happen?? If so did it mellow out after time?

Thanks.

Yeah, you're going to retain a bit of water for a while. But after a few months it'll drop off. Be sure to drink wayyyy more water than you usually do. You may also get headaches. The water retention is your body doing what it's supposed to do. Again, drinking more water will help a lot.


It's Normal...Men Use Water Differently Than Women,

The whys are too much for me to type from my phone, but it has to do with blood pressure and blood viscosity and such, and it's completely normal. Just drink lots of water.
