Weight Gain at 8.5 months...trying not to be discouraged

Ok, I have been trying to keep a stiff upper lip all week, but I am totally depressed. I'm 8.5 months post-op and as of last week I was down 115 pounds, but since Monday I have gained a pound a day!! Today I am up 4 pounds and I really don't understand why. I've been working out every day and I have had at least 80oz (yes, 80!) of water each day and I have not been snacking. I've had weight fluctuation of a pound or so from time to time, but this is the first time since surgery that I have steadily gained over 4 days. Although I am thrilled that I've lost 111 pounds, I still have 50 more to go. I'm starting to wonder if I can do it now. I am typically a very positive person, but this is really throwing me for a loop and my emotions are running a muck. Has anyone had this happen to them and still met your goal?
