Weight gain already?!?!

I'm 4 weeks post op today. Yesterday was the first day I was able to get in the recommended intake of 600 to 800 calories. I was pretty excited. That was until I got on the scale this morning. I've gained 4 pounds. . Since starting this whole process, all I've heard from acquaintances is that I either won't loose, or I'll gain it all back. I WANT TO CRY!!!!Please tell me I'm freaking out for no reason.

      News Flash: It takes ingesting 14000 EXTRA calories to gain 4 pounds of fat. Eating 800 calories total in a day is NOT going to cause you to gain ANY fat, much less 4 pounds. Only water retention can

    My suggestion and I know some will not agree with me, but put the scales up in the closet for now. Weigh only once a week at most, or every 2 weeks, especially while you are having regular visits with your Dr, weigh in there.

    I agree totally!! I knew I'd be one to compare my loss to those of others, so I chose to stay off the scale in the beginning. The only time since surgery I was weighed was at my 2 week post op on April 7th. I wouldn't have done it yesterday, but I had a rough couple of days, mentally, so I'm trying to remind myself why I did this, I figured I'd step on to boost my spirits. It did anything but, so I took the batteries out of the scale and packed it deep, DEEP, inside my closet. Lol. Hopefully my next appt, at the end of May, will include the loss I so desperately long to hear.
