A member asked:

Did i lose weight or just feel like i lost weight after i used the toilet after eating a big meal? every time i have to "release" i feel lighter.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Just a feeling: Emptying a large volume of stool will temporarily make you feel like you lose weight by virtue of emptying stool from the body.
