    Re: 3 pound gain

    3 lbs can be salt, causing you to retain water. Don't sweat it...ha. Seriously though, focus on your incredible accomplishments. Hang in there, you've been doing really well. Keep it up.

    Re: Kidney stone, nausea and confused....

    Sorry to hear you're in pain. My daughter had one also caused by dehydration. They told her to stop drinking anything with caffeine and drink lots of water. Good luck! I hope you feel better soon.
