Frustrated! Just need to vent!

So I have been doing great since surgery and have only had 1 stall for 3 weeks in March/April. Did really well mid-April to mid-May and boom... I've gained 3.5lbs from May21st till today. Nothing has changed. My eating habits, my work out habits - everything has remained. That time of the month was gone about a week ago and I usually just gain water weight the week of that. I haven't had a BM since Friday so that may be what's going on too but I had been going consistently last week and still gained 2lbs.

Since surgery, it's like even half a pound is scary to have put back on!

Sorry for the rant... I just needed to get it off my chest since my husband doesn't really understand! lol

For sure it's frustrating when something like that happens.

Do you retain water? I find I retain more on hot days and it can cause my weight to fluctuate.

I do retain water. So I think it's a combo of both - the retaining and the lack of a BM in 4 days.

You'll see a drop after the BM...are you taking something for that? Never mind the scale movement just the feeling of no BM...is so uncomfortable.
