Please note - I'm NOT freaking out, just curious!
I've been maintaining my weight around 119 for the past few weeks. Last Friday I had a non-invasive procedure to break up a large kidney stone (lithotripsy) and have been recovering since then. My calorie intake this weekend was pretty low, and Friday evening there was also quite a bit of vomiting due to the pain of passing the stone fragments.
I'm still sore but mostly feeling better now. Monday mornings are my weigh-in days, and this morning I was 127. Again, I'm NOT in a panic! I know fluctuations happen and I absolutely know that I I did not eat enough calories in the past week to gain 8 pounds of "real" weight.
But that makes me curious - where did the 8 pounds come from? Has the surgery caused me to retain that much water? I do feel a little bloated, but this seems extreme. I've been living in pajamas over the weekend (going back to work tomorrow) so I can't judge by my more fitted clothes.
Ideas?
