I've taken creatine for about 4 days now 5g daily and I just looked in the mirror and my face is extremely bloated. Not just my face but my belly too. I have not experienced any of the positives of creatine like less brain fog and more energy.

I look bad, like really bad, worse than when I was 220 lbs (180 rn). My chin looks very recessed from how bloated my cheek areas are. I have no semblance of a jawline. My gut is sticking out like I'm some 45 year old in a midlife crisis.

Am I doing something wrong? Do I just need to wait it out or something or just lose more weight to counteract it? I'm drinking about 80oz daily spaced evenly throughout the day. Do I just gotta drink more water?
