I was so happy on Monday I stepped on the scale and it said 239.8 today the stupid scale says 243 how the hell did I gain 3lbs in 2 days.

 are you wearing the same clothes and using the same scales.

I weight my self naked and I have used the same scale from day one. I bought a digital scale two weeks before my surgery in march. I'm just so frustrated and so angry with myself. I haven't eaten anything extra I don't get it. I was wondering if anyone else experienced this.

 sry but get rid of ur scale..

I know you are right. I'm addicted to weighing myself every day.

it's likely water,  that scale messes with your mind. Try getting on once a week or every 3 days if you really have to know. don't worry, it'll come off.

Is your period coming soon?  I know for me that can make quite a difference.

I too am a daily weigher.  I have to know...but I don't let it affect my mood, I just want to know the numbers.  Years of not knowing the numbers, or not stepping on a scale sure didn't do anything good for me.  I have just learned that there are ups and downs and if you know you are following the rules, it will come back down.  Smile, it will pass, J is right, it's very likely water.

No period t was last week. I hope you are both right that it's only water.

I read once that it takes 3500 calories to create 1lb of weight gain. So, unless you ate an extra 10500 calories, its probably water.

This happens to me all the time. Same reason they tell you that you should maintain in a "range" not at a specific number - so that those daily fluctuations don't make you mental.

Most likely you just ate a bit saltier meal or didn't drink quite as much water as usual and it made you retain a bit.

Hearing from everyone is putting me at ease. Ita just hard because I spent the last 10 years watching the scale kreep up, so to see it again put me in a panic. Thank you all for the kind words.
