Water bloat after show?

[chuck89gt5.0]

Im getting kinda scared, I am up 30lbs in 5 days since my show, I am holding a TON of water, an almost scary amount I look so round and soft right now. I did gorge myself the first day or 2 ok even maybe 3 days but halloween night I went back to eating clean. Is this normal? I figured I shocked my body and now its holding on to everything I put in it. Should it go down on its own or should I go get a OTC diuretic?

The water wil go down. It comes from eating a lot of junk post contest.

Yep after depleting your body for so long its now holding as much water as possible. let me make you feel better , I went up 46lbs in 6 days. what I did was take a duiretic and pissed it out and was back to normal in 2 days.

I think we all get scared the 1st time. I gained 50 lbs in 1 weeek after my last show and felt like a total blob. I couldnt help but to pig out like there was no tomorrow after my last show. Just start eating clean and drinking alot of water and youll end up pissing most fo that water out. Dont worry and enjoy yourself bro.

This describes it to a "T"

I feel like a human water balloon, I look like the off-spring of the Michelin man and the stay puft marshmellow man.

Your bodies rebounding....your in "thermostat" will start regulating it on it's own, if you use diuretics now your going to get into a rebound cycle that will go on and on.
