I'm 5 weeks postop I've lost up to 46lbs since surgery. Since this weekend I've gained like 5 lbs out of nowhere. Have not cheated and have almost had to force myself to eat because I'm not really hungry and exercised every day. Feeling frustrated. I know I should be grateful for what I've lost but irritated at the gain.

Your body is probably in shock mode at the starvation it thinks it is in. It will hang on to fluids and such, so keep the fluids moving through you, this helps the body release fluid! It is not surprising what you are going through, we all do, and this weight "gain" WILL change, just keep following your program. Read other's posts on this site, you'll see that most, if not all, of us go through this. And look FORWARD to your success, you WILL find it!

Be happy your body is adjusting give it a break you will lose again.

Follow your program and don't worry about the numbers. You will notice that sometimes the scale stalls but the inches are melting off. I am 3 months out and some weeks I lost just a pound and then in the last 2 weeks I dropped 10 pounds.. Your body will do what it needs to do.

could be anything...probably Water weight. You realize your would have to not only eat the regulated amount of food to keep your body at the weight you are now but on top of that each 3500 calories EXTRA to even gain one pound. So it is nothing to stress about. It happen to me once and I flushed my body for 48 hours didn't step on that scale and when I did next it was back where it should be!
