salt pushes retaining water

I guess I have lots of questions today! I thank everyone for their help. I have done three salt water pushes today with 1/2 tsp of Sea Salt in 1/2 cup warm water followed by about 12 oz of distilled water. I have retained basically all of that water. It made the pains I've been feeling MUCH better and it helped me to have a better bowel movement. But I can tell I am bloated. My question is - is this normal? I read some posts on this and I thought someone say this would normalize in 3-5 days? Also, with the retention of water does that mean that before the pushes I was dehydrated and my body is keeping it because it needs it? Thanks so much for the help!
