Just wondering why our weight will go up 2 lbs than the next day down 3 lbs back and forth?

 I know some one knows this answer. Just wondering why we go up 2 lbs than the next day I can be down 3 lbs. I think my scale just likes to play games with my mind lol. 
My surgeon gave me the tool. Now it is up to me to use it right.

Short answer: water retention.

You can have 4-5 pound of fluctuation easily just from changes in how much water your body is retaining. Some people have more.

 OK thanks I did not even think of that. I was just looking at the scale and saying what the heck that it could not be right but now it makes sense to me.

I have the same problem, that's why I only weigh myself once a week. I know many people can weigh themselves daily to keep themselves accountable, but I found it to be more frustrating than anything when I would all of a sudden gain 3 pounds for no apparent reason.

 I am a slave to my scale and i should not do this every day. But it is a bad habit to me and so hard not to do it. I should have my husband hide the stupid thing but that would drive me nuts also.

I'm right there with ya on this one.  Was so proud yesterday to see 152.6 on the scale then this morning... 154.8.  WHAT???  I can tell it's from too much salt. I feel like the Goodyear blimp this morning and am chugging water today hoping I can flush some of it out.  We shall see!
