Sorry to keep whining!

I have posted a couple of time before regarding water and my deca cycle. I was being pretty optimistic about things, feeling good and now I have just crashed. I am in the middle of my second week off and I feel terrible. I feel huge for one and I think that leads to the feeling bad. I had great muscle gains, but I also alot of water/fat. Im not sure which one it is. I keep my eating about the same while on, so that's why I am confused. None of my clothes fit and it is getting quite depressing. I am definitely more "jiggly" than I was before I started. Could someone please help me with some insight?! Does anyone else feel like this after cycles?

Thanks, I will continue to do all of that. I just didn't expect to be as puffy as I am. I have gained 17lbs from March until now. It shocked me to say the least. I wouldn't mind the gain so much, but I can't even wear a belt because of the bloat. Thanks for the reply and I am going to continue chugging the water!

I have another question....is it possible to drink too much water? Also, I know everyone is different, but how long has it taken shed the excess water and bloat after a cycle. Just curious...thanks!

i agree with spatterson, keep drinking the water, stay away from salt, take a water pill about every other day, and up your cardio, the bloat will come off, i promise you. i have been there with the deca before.

also, where are you in your cycle? my menstrual bloating was terrible when i first got off the deca

Hi there TxGirl-
I am about mid thru my cycle. Well what is supposed to be a cycle. I go several months without a period. I get all the symptoms, but nothing else.
How long did it take you to return to normal after your cycle?

i never had any disruption of my menstrual cycle. i didn't have any unpleasant sides, except for the bloating. sorry i can't offer any more help.

Don't worry about it. Just having encouragement is enough. Plus to know that everyone else has dealt with the bloat has made me feel better! Thanks to both you and Spatterson!
