So although in the long term with my weight loss i have been sucessful I have been on long term antibiotics since probally close to 6 months out of the 2 years since being sleeved. Starting weight was 420 then sleeved at 320......and got down 230....Thats only 90lbs with the sleeve. So I have been on amoxollin last couple days and gained a couple lbs. Do you think its jus****er weight?  I hope its not real weight

I don't know - are you weighing, measuring and tracking everything you put into your mouth with something like MyFitnessPal?  What are you eating every day?

Antibiotics don't add fat. Food does. You'll be fine.

Sometimes when we are not feeling well we make some bad food choices. I am not saying you are. I just know I do when I am not feeling well. 

We were taught for so long to comfort ourselves when we are not feeling good that we go back to old habits.

Make sure you drink enough water with antibiotics. 

I hope you feel better soon.

I have never heard of anyone gaining weight from antibiotics.

Are you feeling bloated?I typically do not have great BMs when I'm on antibotics. They just really mess with the flow of things.
