Thanks for the answer Sus.

Getting the water in is no problem as I an very, very thirsty all the

time. And my urine output gets better as the day progresses - it is

just first thing in the morning that I have noticed a change. So - I

hope the weight is all water related and that it falls off.

I watched my salt intake today - will see if my sleep wrinkles leave

a little faster tomorrow
