ok so i was once dehydrated and after i recovered i put on a pair of jeans and they seemed rather baggy and my family mentioned i looked like i lost weight i would like to know if the dehydration effected my weight and why?
John W - Yes, it's called water weight. Water is heavy and you hold a lot of it. When I was first put on diuretics for congestive heart failure, I quickly lost 40 lbs. Of course that is an extreme as the body builds up a lot of fluids when there's congestive heart failure.
