I’ve had 3 large iced teas, about 32oz each and then I’ve had 24oz of water and I’m wondering if I’m drinking too much to lose weight. I’ve used the bathroom about 3 times this morning though.

I’m just super stressed and I’m trying to water out my system a bit.

With me, I found that sugar and carbs will put on weight. I have not heard of water putting on weight. If you are losing lots of water by exercising then I can understand that you drink a lot of water. If you drink that much with no exercise or sweating, maybe it is time to ask your PCP if thirst can be a sign of some other condition.

Yes, it can although should only be temporary. You will retain what you've lost through exercise. Talking plain (tap) water here.

However, fizzy drinks and soda can cause weight gain. Artificial sweeteners are the main culprits. That diet drink is not helping with weight loss, but the opposite. It's also well-known that regular and diet drinks such as cola, sprite, etc do not satisfy a thirst, so you drink more and more. Why they're recommended by one well-known weight loss company is difficult to understand. Same thing happens when you eat sugary foods.

Your metabolism should also be considered. Going to the bathroom is good. Your body is dealing with the extra fluid and will regulate itself. Fizzy drinks may also make you go to the bathroom more but the concern should be what's left behind.
