I am 3 month post - op, and I have steadily been loosing weight. This past WEEK I gained back 4-6 pounds. This is freaking me out. I work hard to loose the weight - and to diet, and yet I AM GAINING WEIGHT. Has this every happened to anyone else? If so; how did you overcome it?

I highly doubt you've gained a true 4-6lbs in a week. That means you had to have eaten over 14,000 extra calories, and that's doubtful. Note that the scale can go up 10lbs in one day, for various reasons. Have you eaten a lot of salt? Eaten a lot of carbs? Are you getting your period soon? All of this can cause weight gain on the scale; again, not a true weight gain.

More than likely it's Water weight. I wouldn't sweat it. Stay off the scale for a few days and re-weigh.
