I don't get how this is possible. I'm 5 weeks post op, and I'm eating between 500-700 a day. I'm getting my Protein and Water and all that jazz. I've been at the dreaded "3 week stall" since June 5th and since then I have gained 6 pounds. What is going on????

Hormones. You can gain Water weight easily during your cycle times, and especially in the first couple of months the hormone dump is going to be crazy insane. Fat stores hormones and as you drop fat, it all gets flushed back into your system and will cause all sorts of fun side effects like random weight gain, mood swings and such.

You'll see weight fluctuate often during this whole journey. Just keep doing what you're supposed to be doing and it will work out.
