A member asked:
What is the normal fluctuation range for weight on a daily basis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: First, see your doctor to make sure there is no significant underlying disease. If there isn't any, he/she may give you a gentle diuretic to help manage the extra water. The usual range is 3-5 pounds. The body holds onto water based on messages given by the kidneys.
