do you have a SAMS club there>>if you do they are about 13$ for a case of 12..

That's weird. Mine are normally $16.99. I think they had a coupon this time that made them cheaper but that's not the normal price.

Are you moving your bowels? If not, get some Miralax. You could have some of this weight gain from Constipation bloating.

Whatever weight you've gained, it's not fat. (not this early out!). You are probably retaining Fluid. The best way to "let it go", is to keep on drinking. Pay attention to the salt content of your food. Aim for around 1500-2000mg a day. Coconut Water will help with electrolytes.
And check your scale. It could be inaccurate too. Step on it several times in a row, and see if it weighs you the same each time.

Thank you so much.. I was thinking how when I can't even eat that much.. I will be drinking my protien .. And I weigh myself at work .. I'm going to check that scale out.. And that's one thing my nut mentioned was to check my sodium content.. So I've been low sodium everything.. I only been drinking 33 oz of water .. They want me at 64 oz I gotta do this

You just revealed some of the issue - only 33oz of liquid and no shakes (liquid and protein). You are partially dehydrated and your body is holding onto everything for dear life. Drink at least twice that.
