Weight Gain AFTER Surgery

So I guess this would be for anyone that has had surgery....
I had surgery on July 19 and proceeded to lose weight.

From July 13 to August 16 I lost 14kgs.  then on August 27 I gained 0.1kg back.  Then on August 30 I was another 0.7kg up.  Then yesterday I went in to the clinic to weigh myself and I was another 0.5kg up.  So what the heck is going on????

I'm trying to get my protein in.  I feel like I'm never eating fruits and veggies....yesterday I was craving salad so I bought some that I can make for home.  I started going to the gym - just on the treadmill since I'm still not allowed to lift anything until my wounds are healed...which isn't yet.

I've been told to make sure I have protein at every meal/snack and when I don't eat much at all I find it so hard to eat anything of value.

Did anyone else experience this?

Are you weighing in at the same time daily.
Maybe ask someone else what a typical weeks menu is like for them after having gone through RNY. It might help in sorting out your days.

I'm wishing you the best in figuring this new body out. Just don't give up!!

nks..nope, not planning on giving up - just frustrated. Most of the time I was weighed was around the same time - when ever my appointments are at the clinic. I try not to use any other scale.

I just don't know.

Could be water retension....I can fluctuate two lbs here and there constantly.

It drives the hell outa me, but what can you do?

I don't let it get to me much...but iit can be frustrating

You are still fresh out of surgery...I would say...give your body time to adjust...it will come up...trust me!

okay okay..thank you. I was still stressing about it yesterday so I ran to the clinic in the afternoon to weigh myself and I was down 0.5kgs. So I guess I need to stop stressing eh?
