Ok I've had 2 Cookies, in a moment of weakness. But could that make me gain 1.3lbs??? I'm hoping my period is coming and that's why I've gained. ( Can't remember exactly when my period fell on last month because somehow it was deleted on my calendar in my phone...) But even if its not my period coming, how do I gain that much in such a short time?? I've increased my activity / walking. And my Water intake too. I've been eating 4-5 oz per meal as my surgeon said I should be at rt now. Anyone else go thru sudden weight gain???

I'm not an expert, but I know that when I increase activity, or include weight training, I tend to retain more liquids. I does go back down eventually and usually followed by a weight loss. I understand that our bodies need the extra Fluid retention to process the needed glucose for the muscles. Hang in there. More than likely it is temporary. Good job on the added activity!!!!

Thank you so much. It just gets so frustrating. And i know i should not become a slave of the scale. But its really hard! Thanks for the advice.
