I been doing bariketo since I'm 5months out. I go to the gym 4 times a week and eat small and healthy. I' depress

100% water weight/ bowel contents

You did not gain 5 pounds of fat in a day. It's likely water weight. There are going to be ebbs and flows (and stalls, stalls, stalls) throughout the journey. If that's going to frustrate you, try to stay off of the scale. (For instance, maybe only weigh once per week.)

Hang in there!

Check to see how much sodium you’re taking in, make sure to take benefiber or some sort of supplement to help regulate your bowel movements. I’d guess this is water weight - unless you had a massive binge day, did you? You might be able to put in 5 pounds of food if you try really really hard. LOL

No binge. I want to hit my goal for my bday. I'm focus. But the bowel movement may be it. Thanks

Depends... You didn't accidentally eat 20,000 calories one day did you?

(I'M KIDDING.)

Yep, it's just water weight/bowel factors.

lol! Right?? I can barely eat 4 4oz of food a day, of course we are kidding, it would be very hard to shove that amount of food in one day unless you just slowly eat non-stop by putting food in your mouth like every 5 minutes or something. And still I'd die from my food sickness. lol!
