water gain

Is anyone experiencing water gain. I am drinking 32-48oz a day. Last week I weighed in at 175#s and 4 days later I weighed in at 189#s. That is 14 extra pounds. Now a week later I am back at 175#. I sometimes wonder if it's a problem caused by the surgery. I have heard so much negative things lately about the surgerys long term effects on a persons body. I had never had problems with water gain in the past. My legs,ankles,and especially hands were so swollen I couldnt even put on my rings!! I would appreciate any input! Thanks,Melinda

It hasn't happened to me yet. I am still struggling to lose weight. I haven't enjoyed the same measure of success, but I haven't experienced a gain yet. I either lose a pound or two....or I stay the same weight. I cut down my weigh-ins to once a month. I find that keeps me from seeing the fluctuations that might depress me. Perhaps that might work for you, too. I am still hovering around the 190 mark. Would love to get into the 170's. Hopefully, I can get there by summer. Have a great day, Karen G

Hello Melinda, Hasn't happened to me neither. I drink about 80 ounces of water a day. It seems like I pee all the time. I hope you find an answer to why your swollen. Take care, Diana 379/178/?

My weight bounces but I have not been swollen. You might call your surgeon about this problem and see what's up. Might be an under lining problem. Not trying to scare you but can't hurt to call and just ask, right? Keep us posted on how your doing hon. Donna 338/154
