Q: the "green Sugar Or Water Pills"

I was talking to some of my co-workers about bc's and most of them warned me about the green sugar pills. They told me not to take the green sugar pills because it makes them gain weight/bloat... Is that true?

No.. There is no way for them to make you gain weight. You would get more calories from a piece of gum. Chances are your co-workers are experiencing normal bloating/weight gain from their period and blaming it on the pills...

Yeah, they won't make you gain weight. They're just experiencing pms.
