I lost 2.4 pounds of water weight in one day. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not normal : Are you taking water pills? Are you having diarrhea ? Or vomiting? This is a rapid loss that should not continue. But if you feel lightheaded when standing, or faint when you get up, you may need the fluid lost to be replaced. If its bad enough, this may have to be done with intravenous fluids.
