I have not slept well the last two nights due to needing to get up an urinate. Either I have diabetes now, or my body is confused without alcohol.

Or probably just not chronically dehydrated since I haven't drank since Tuesday.

And I had "normal" meal last night with grilled pork chops, broccoli and mashed potatoes. The Kinder Hickory Molasses and Bourbon Peach seasonings were good (made one of each and then split them). I say normal because it wasn't pizza, take out, or a frozen something. LOL

Yeah, it’s probably the hydration. - znufrii 🦄 Jul 7, 07:34
similar for me. I stopped having a couple drinks and put on 3.5 pounds. had a couple the past two nights and lost it again - Beaker 🍺 Jul 7, 06:47 7
- Haha! I'm really hoping the not drinking with cause weight loss, not weight gain. - sycor Jul 7, 06:55 4
  - You'll drop weight if you don't start eating trash to replace it. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 06:58 3
    - tbh, this is the issue with weed for me.. i get snacky, but i don't drink when i'm doing it, so i think it's a net positive? -- nm - colin Jul 7, 07:31
    - I snack more if not having a beer or two. so this makes sense. -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 7, 07:07 1
      - I did the same thing when I quit smoking. I found myself picking on junk food or just craving it more often. Took me seeing my neck looking fat in a -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 7, 07:19
- I need you to post this on Twitter…and start a movement (similar to “go to Italy, eat tons of pasta everyday, and lose weight). -- nm - Flavorize Jul 7, 06:51 1
  - Man I wish that was true. :-) I miss having pasta multiple nights a week. -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 07:00
I really think it's simply your not drinking that's causing this and will eventually subside. Alcohol dehydrates you and your body will try to hold - Krusty Jul 7, 06:44 3
- I agree. And getting lab work in 2 weeks will definitely answer any questions. But I'm sure you are right. - sycor Jul 7, 06:47 2
  - You got this and I'm sure things will go back to normal once your body has had some time to adjust. And don't watch movies about waterfalls before bed -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 06:49 1
    - or chasing them (or so I've heard) -- nm - oblique Jul 7, 07:03
Two hour sleep-wake-pee cycles seem normal to me. Also, I'm old. -- nm - Bari Seldon Jul 7, 06:34 7
- It actually is just about every two hours. Very annoying. I guess "old" should be one of the considerations. - sycor Jul 7, 06:36 6
  - Since it just started happening I'd assume it's because of the changes in your habits. Make sure you go to the bathroom before you go to bed. - Krusty Jul 7, 06:39 2
    - Thanks! I'm sure it's the change in my bad habits. Everything else seems to be fine. -- nm - sycor Jul 7, 06:43 1
      - I'm sure you're right. Increased hydration has benefits but more frequent micturition is the price. - Bari Seldon Jul 7, 06:46
  - Have you tried melatonin? Helps me get to sleep at night but I think it also has a positive effect on the urge to pee -- (edited) - oblique Jul 7, 06:38 2
    - I may give that a shot, thanks for the suggestion. I'm also still intaking fluids like I was before to help offset dehydration, so I probably need to - sycor Jul 7, 06:44 1
      - I suggest just waiting a week or so for your body to flush out everything and to adjust to your new lifestyle. - Krusty Jul 7, 06:47
the obvious answer is - oblique Jul 7, 06:32 3
- or - decline Jul 7, 06:32 2
  - I can get some puppy pads for the bed I guess. Not sure if diapers would be more comfortable though. -- nm - sycor Jul 7, 06:34
