Question:
12 POUND WEIGHT GAIN IN ONE WEEK!

HELP! I HAD MY OPEN RNY IN AUGUST. I WAS DOWN 80 POUNDS LAST MONDAY. NOW I'M UP 12 POUNDS, IN LESS THAN ONE WEEK! I'VE NOT CHANGED ANYTHING IN MY DIET THAT IS JUMPING OUT AT ME. I'VE BEEN "SPAYED" SO IT'S NOT A MONTHLY TYPE THING! HELP!    — JOANNA S. (posted on February 9, 2001)

I'm sure you don't need this advise, but here it is anyway. CALL YOUR DR!! Hopefully nothing has happened, but I would call your dr asap and have it checked out.

Going back to "Square One" is often advocated. Back to clear liquids for a week. Good luck!

I don't want to sound silly here, but did you check your scale? That is quite a bit of weight for 7 days especially when you are not eating much food. You should probably check with your doctor, but make sure that your scales have not broken. The cheaper the scale the less accurate it usually is. Once I though I had lost 10 pounds in a week (pre-op days) but it was only a penny that had gotten stuck underneath. Once I removed it, I was back up by 10 pounds. :) Hope you get this figured out soon and don't become discouraged. :)
