to gain seven lbs, you'd have to eat 42,500 calories more than your body needs. Unless you at 7000 extra calories every day you were gone, then it's likely mostly water weight.

7 pounds up after taking a break from your eating plan. It’s good to recognize how easy it is to extra calories. You will lose the weight getting back to basics. Vacation over and back on track.

I think it's a normal part of adjusting to the surgery to go on vacation and majorly screw up your diet! With that said, it's also probably a good time to check in with your nutritionist and/or therapist.

I went back home to visit my parents in June (~6 months post op) and had my first major extended weak moment--because of the insane amount of food available to me (and my lack of willpower) I ended up eating like my family (which is not good), snacking like crazy and making generally poor food decisions. Luckily this gave me a breakthrough to realize that I felt self conscious making separate food for myself because I thought it'd be rude (no idea why) and from that point on I was able to better moderate my bad food decisions. I just got back from vacation with my partner and I actually lost a few pounds over the course of 2 weeks. Thus, no sweat this time but do try to get to the cause of the slip and learn from it.

Just get back on track and stay focused... I think the majority of the 7 pounds is water weight.. Don't let this take you down and get back on the horse!!!!!! Hope this helps....

I have no idea how you could gain 7 lbs in 6 days that’s a lot as one of the other posters said. I would go back to basics and drink your water and have either small meals 3-4 ounces and/or liquids and see if that resets you. I doubt you stretched your sleeve out in 6 days. I am 9 months out too and still can not eat more than 3-4 ounces and have lost 135 lbs.

As of this morning I drooped 2 pounds..been on liquids..
