Approximately how much water weight is gained during your period?

Sometimes it seems to be at least 5 lbs. Is that possible?

The approximate water weight gain in the time before the period and during is about 5 lbs. Yes, it is that possible. I've had it happen to me before and I also found that sometimes eating foods with a lot of salt around that time made things worse.
