As most of you know I am 2.5 weeks post-op (open). I THOUGHT the scale last week said 227. As of today the scale says 231. Is it possible for me to gain a few lbs? If so, why? I know 231 is still good for starting at 250.5, but still...you all know how I feel to see the scale go up is HORRIBLE!!! I am eating more now, but not that much more. I am still not drinking enough though! Also, after maybe 2 bites it feels like the food will come up my esophagus, feels stuck. Even though I chewed it good. I can feel the discomfort right in the middle of my chest, but only when I eat or drink. Go figure...when I drink like V8 or some times the protein drink.

Does anyone think it is possible when you dehydrated the numbers will not go down because your body is fighting to obsorb? Maybe dehydration has happened again?
