    Default Bloated...what to do?

    In the past 8 days I've actually lost 2 lbs but my lower stomach is just puffy and I don't know why. My period is about 10 days away but I usually dont get this way. Any quick tips? I got some water pills and I'm going to hit the gym today..I just hate going to work with a poochy tummy. UGH

    I'd say give the water pills a try. Or if you have more time you can try jillian michaels diet drink, it's a diuretic drink designed to get rid of excess water weight and bloating. just remember you'll only lose water weight & it will probably eventually come back, but it does work.

    This may sound weird, but wrap your stomach in plastic wrap tightly but comfortably when you work out. Make sure you work up a sweat. I don't know why but this works. I use it mainly on my legs, but have wrapped my stomach a few times too.

    have you gone to the bathroom, ya know, like #2? ...sometimes if i havent gone in a day or so, my lower stomach gets a little bloated and then after i go i feel much better and thinner...i dont think you should use any laxatives if you plan on working that night, but try drinking more water and pressinly gently on your tummy to help things get moving.

    sometimes i take Gas-X to help with the bloating and also Midol helps with the bloating too

    I also recommend Jillian Michaels' drink. It's safer than taking water pills and drinking it for even 2 days helps bloat tremendously. Cutting out excess sodium is good, too- but extremely difficult since salt is in almost everything.

    i use neoprean shorts, they have a mid-section wrap for you stomach....it does the same as plastic wrap i would think..... i got mine cheap at wal-mart... i'm sure it is just sweating out the extra water weight, just like the water pill...but i love the difference it makes, compared to excercizing without it!

    I 2nd the number 2 thing... you may be a little backed up, especially since you said you've been losing weight your digestion may be a little out of whack. If I feel this way I'll usually have some beans in a salad and that does the trick. Also cut off eating tonight around 6pm and drink a ton of water afterwards.
