Hi there everyone. I was just wondering if anyone has ever experienced a 5 lb. weight gain suddenly??

I have lost steadily since I had my surgery (almost 2 yrs. ago), but I have never gained weight. I'm was actually down 134 lbs. before this sudden gain. I did goto a holiday party this past Saturday and I did eat a few bites of a number of different foods, but nothing that made me PB or anything. I do follow a low carb diet and don't drink any carbonated beverages so I'm stumped. I can't imagine that one night would cause me to gain 5 lbs. in 2 days. I also ate 2 chocolate chip Cookies on Sunday, but I've always allowed myself to have a cookie or two every so often.

Does it sound like this could be Water weight??? I'm thinking that maybe I should do all Protein and veggies for the next couple of days. I just can't imagine that I would gain 5 lbs. in 2 days from 2 cookies and tasting a few different foods over a period of 4 or 5 hrs!!!

Any suggestions or ideas are welcome.

Thanks,

Liz

I weigh myself each morning. I gained 3.5 pounds this past weekend.

The next morning it was gone.

The scale can be weird like that.

I would bet its water weight. I wouldn't worry too much about it.....i gain 3-7 lbs during my cycle then it just disappears...so it happens!

I wouldnt worry till the scale starts to incline upwards on a weekly basis....keep up the good work!!!
