I'm PISSED OFF BEYOND BELIEF!

I had surgery 6/14 I lost 40 pounds but as of today 12 pounds came back..! How that fast did 12 pounds come back?? I didn't even gain that much weight eating McDonald's every other day in a week's time.. Please someone HELP!!

I've called my doctors office.. No help.. I made an appointment with my dietitian can't see her until August.. I'm lost and getting discouraged.. I've been typing in to Google .. And I can't find no one that has experience this much weight gain so fast..smh

Are you moving your bowels? If not, get some Miralax. You could have some of this weight gain from constipation bloating.

Whatever weight you've gained, it's not fat. (not this early out!). You are probably retaining fluid. The best way to "let it go", is to keep on drinking. Pay attention to the salt content of your food. Aim for around 1500-2000mg a day. Coconut water will help with electrolytes.
And check your scale. It could be inaccurate too. Step on it several times in a row, and see if it weighs you the same each time.

Thank you so much.. I was thinking how when I can't even eat that much.. I will be drinking my protien .. And I weigh myself at work .. I'm going to check that scale out.. And that's one thing my nut mentioned was to check my sodium content.. So I've been low sodium everything.. I only been drinking 33 oz of water .. They want me at 64 oz I gotta do this

Make sure you scale is working properly. How often do you weight yourself ?

I walk, and do weight bearing exercises, like sqauts and other things..

Try Nectar flavorless protein powder with some lemonade Crystal light water flavoring. It is really good!!

You just revealed some of the issue - only 33oz of liquid and no shakes (liquid and protein). You are partially dehydrated and your body is holding onto everything for dear life. Drink at least twice that.
