I just drank about 3 glasses of water but I stepped on the scale and gained 1.5 pounds of water weight. How long will that take to drop? And when I pee (lol) is that my body flushing out the weight? How long will it take for my weight to regulate back down? Thankss

Ok imagine weighing yourself, then picking up a huge container of water and stepping back on the scale. obviously the weight is gonna go up. minus the weight of the container itself, obviously, that's pretty much what you just now did. it doesn't mean you actually weigh more, you're just holding the water. once it's out, you'll be back to where you were when you weighed without it <3
