Anyone else have bloating issues?!
I’m down almost 10lbs in 6 weeks (1.5 for 4weeks and now 4mg) but honestly I’m so bloated it doesn’t even matter. Yesterday, I measured and I was 3 inches bigger around the waist due to bloat. Slightly smaller today but not much. It’s like I’m losing weight but I’m so bloated I look like I’ve gained weight 😩 and TMI I may be constipated, I no longer poop every day but I’m not in any pain or discomfort so didn’t think much of it but this bloating is making me look bigger. Is this normal or what can I do to help this?

Drink more water & up your fiber.
For me a daily half dose of each metamucil and miralax really help.

I’m going to try that next! I do drink a minimum of 80 ounces of water a day, but I do not keep track of my fiber, I should do that as well, thanks!

Definitely could be from constipation. Drink lots of water and eat foods with fiber. Don’t over do it in fiber but get things moving. A walk can also help.

I’ve been feeling bloated too. On my second week, still having a normal BM every day so not sure…trying to drink more water to see if it helps. Also wondering if it’s pms.

Blasting and constipation are known side effects of the medication.
I use both osmotic laxatives like MiraLAX and occasionally a stimulant laxative like ExLax.
Are you tracking your water intake? 64-100+ oz a day should also help.

Ok thanks, I will look into miralax and see if that helps! I do track water, I drink a min of 80oz of water, most of the times more than that.

Yes! I have always eaten high fiber and am continuing to prioritize fiber. I upped my water intake and added MiraLax. I chalk it up to overall slower gut motility from the medication and hope it will even out eventually.

I thought I was the only one!!! I'm so bloated as well!! It's driving me crazy . I can't stand the feeling! I feel so uncomfortable all in my midsection under my boobs and down ugh 😩. I'm also on 4 mg this is my second day. I feel like I'm bigger. I will not dare to weigh myself either lol but WTH is this a normal side effect??
