Answers:
You need to be patient but in the meantime get lots of fluids and rest and stop with the pills altogether!
The problem with losing water weight is that you may physically "weigh" less but you will lose NO bodyfat which is what actually will make you thinner.
Give yourself a couple of days and when you are feeling better, start getting regular exercise and eating more healthfully. That will get you in better shape, truly. Not just dehydrating yourself which is pointless!
Good luck. Be healthy!
No one here can help you. Get a friend to take you to the ER or call 911. You probably aren't in danger BUT...
You've probably depleted the electrolytes in your body by dehydrating and then re-hydrating.
Don't fool around. Seek medical attention.
pedialite will help. you can find it in the baby section. get some potasium. from bananas.
Absolutely ... and yes, I'm afraid you're right ... it was stupid!!
Salty foods ... saltines, cheese, etc.
just a thought but when someone is dehydrated because of diarrhea, it is advised to take a glass of water with a tea spoon of salt and a bigger spoon of sugar. because the main problem is that he/she lost many "electrolytes" the need Ions lets say. Try Mineral water maybe
You must start drinking more water. Water pills are bad for you. If you want to lose more water weight, you have to drink more water. Your body needs a lot of water in order to function, such as the liver. If it doesn't get enough water, it holds on to the water it has, ergo, water retention.
Dehydration is serious! Your organs need water, plain and simple. Stop reading and drink water, water, water!
you definitely need some potassium. thats whats causing your muscle aches and pain. gatorade is good but even a multivitamin would help in this case.
I wouldn't worry too much about muscle pains. If you're having abdominal pain or chest pain, that's when you need to worry and get yourself to a hospital.
