up and down weight why
That sounds off to me... I know we will fluctuate some due to water weight, etc, but six pounds?
Are you weighing at the same time every day? Wearing the same clothes, or at least something very similar, when you do?
Are you getting enough fluid in? Not drinking enough can make us retain fluids, which will show up as a gain on the scale. I would wager that over half of this "gain," if not the whole thing, is water weight.
Also, our bodies sometimes do swell a little while we are healing. Remember you are just a few weeks out from major surgery.
One last thing to consider... is there a chance that your scale may be off? Perhaps needs new batteries?

It happens, and its normal. The first time it happened to me was in January - I came back from a trip and had lost 6 lbs, gained 5 lbs back, and the started losingagain. Just this week I got down to 222.0, it went back up to 223.8, now back down to 222.0.
There are several things that could be going on. First is muscle building, muscle is more dense than fat so if you are working hard on strength training and adding mscle that could be it. Short term gains can be explained by varying levels of glycigen being stored - most of that is water. If you work really hard one day and burn up most of your glycogen, and then replace it - that could take about 5 lbs of water for an average person. There are some really detailed posts about these things.
Just as with your stall earlier, don't stress over the scale. Stay on your eating plan, stay on your exercise plan, and the weight will come off. Weigh yourself, keep track of the readings to look for the overall downward trend, and then move on. Control what you can, let the scale do what it will.
