i currently weigh 86.4 lbs.
monday morning i weighed 78.6 lbs.


i am swollen like a puffy blimp. and i am sore too.
tons of edema, water/fluid retention.
TONS.
my ankles, my legs, my knees, my wrists, my hands, my calves, my thighs, my fingers, my feet, my arms, my shoulders, my toes, my hips, my stomach, perhaps my face a bit, even my BOOBS...yeah, i actually ****ing have some right now.
my mom wants to take me to the doctor, she says it looks really really scary and bad..
i have NEVER been this swollen/puffy in my life...
it is my whole entire body.

i hope the weight gain is due to the edema.
i hope i hope i hope
or i really gained 8 lbs in about 3 days.
oh. my. god.

it can't be real weight, right?
and also, what could/would cause the edema?

Could be an allergic reaction. I'd seek medical care.

edema is very common when recovering from eating disorders, blue. You might want to go to the doctor to be safe, but I'm pretty sure it's from refeeding yourself.

edema is also a really crappy rock band.

I think you should check with a doctor. But your body is most likely just trying to adapt to getting rehydrated again (was dehydrated due to your ED) and has to learn how to handle the fluids again - give it some time!!

But a quick visit to the doctor can't do any harm. In fact, I'd give him/her a call right away!! It is unlikely that it is a heart problem - you would not be puffed up ALL over like that methinks, but then again, I'm no specialist - but it would be better to check it out, and it would give your mum peace of mind too.

turns out it's a liver problem.
>.<
thanks though.
