I desperately need help

Hey everyone,I am beside myself. I have gained 5 lbs over the pass few days. I've cried over this. I tried more water. I ate like I should. BUT still can't eat that much. I am hating myself right now!! Any suggestions? Please.

If you are doing everything right, it is probably water weight. Keep an eye on your salt intake, drink extra water to prevent your body from hoarding water and in a day or two, you will be fine. Don't worry about it. You should not be weighing yourself daily- the long term trend is what really counts. Virtually every one of us have gone through a temporary weight gain when we were getting back to normal. Being healthy is not obsessing about every pound day to day. Now if you were to continue to gain...like over 10 pounds, that wouldn't be water. Your body is still recovering, it will have temper tantrums ocassionally!

Awe hun, I agree with Kitty, and it could also be storing everything because you're unable to eat much of anything just yet.   You're eating very little, your body is in recovery from the surgery and complications you had, and your metabolism could be almost at a stand-still until you are better healed and better nourished.

If you're not eating enough, your body goes into starvation mode, and stores everything instead of losing weight.  So you have to try to slowly increase your intake, and as your body begins to heal, everything will sort itself out.

Do your best to focus on getting in your protein and your water.  All the rest will fall into place.  

Stay strong, I wish you all the best.. 
No more tears hun, you're doing what you're supposed to and need to heal and recover

Thanks guys! It isn't easy thats for sure. I do weigh myself a bit to much. Also Dr B has me on new meds because I can't swallow much of anything right now. I get to see him in 3 weeks unless I need to see him before he said to call. Time will tell!
Thanks again kitty mom and Carly I hope all is well with you guys!
Take care cause we care
Hugs
