Help! Three weeks out and I have gained 8 lbs.!

[trishrnyoung 18]

the first 2 weeks I lost 20lbs. I was so excited. But a week ago I stopped losing and when I got on the scales this morning I have gained 8 lbs.

I am so upset that I am considering go beck to the full liquid/puree stage.I am so discouraged. I don't know what to do. Of course starting the night before last I couldn't get ward. Same thing yesterday all day. I took my temperature and it was 101.8. I called the surgeon on call and because of our spring/winter storm he told me to go the local ER and have them call him. They said I have a UTI and put me on Bactrim. But I feel there is something wrong. I hate a bunch of strawberries this morning and it barely filled me up. It feels like I have not even had the surgery!!! what is goin on. Of course I still have an open incision form it getting infected that is being cared for everyday. Also I am so tired, any suggestions? could I have a leak? No one has addressed that.

Honestly, these are questions only your surgeon can answer, and only with the aid of diagnostic testing. I'm so sorry you are feeling this way.

A UTI will make you feel very tired. I don't know what to say about the strawberries (I'm five weeks out and my plan doesn't allow fresh fruits yet), but strawberries are mostly Water. What are you doing for Protein?

Did they give you an IV while you were in the ER? When I had my surgery, I gained 12 pounds from the IV's.
