triplethreat 257 Posted August 2, 2016 I went to a post op patient meet up and was talking with a lady. She was saying that she gained 2 lbs in a day and was worried this was the start of a stall. Would someone gain weight on a stall? If someone seemed to gain 2 lbs in a day would that be Water? Trying to understand the terminology.

KristenLe 5,979 Posted August 2, 2016 @@triplethreat It would have to be Water. It's not possible for her to gain 2 lbs of fat in a day. It is most likely water retention (could have not had enough fluids, too much sodium, TOM, etc). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted August 2, 2016 Out of context, who knows. Short-term weight fluctuations are usually related to Water retention, Constipation, hydration/dehydration etc. Another excellent reason not to weigh frequently.
