starting over, will it help?

Thanksgiving was not kind to me , or better put I was not kind to myself. it isnt that I really ate to much, just all the wrong things. I am very swollen and have gained over 5 pounds. i am sure it is mostly water but I cant seem it get it off. I have also noticed that in the last week or 2 I can eat alot more than ever before , with no ill effects and that scares me. I started today with nothing but liquids. I am on my forht protien shake and I am really hungry.I would take a water pill, but the last time i did it lowered my BP so bad i passed out. besides that it caused me to retain even more because my body thought it need to hold on even tighter. my main question is how long should i stay on liquids , before my pouch goes back to the way it was last month? and besides water and shakes what else can i have to help this process along. thank you guys so much for always being here for me and all of us when we need it.
