It is a combination of water weight and excess waste. I would be surprised if you really put on more than a pound or two unless it was a truly epic binge.
Well for example yesterday I had-
Breakfast- 2 bowls oatmeal with raisins and granola mixed in, 1 bowl mixed fruit, 5 egg omelet with peppers
Snack- Clif bar
Lunch- Buffet with 2 salad bar plates, 2 rolls with butter, side of cole slaw, side of pasta salad, 1 bowl mixed fruit
Snack- 1 Quest bar, bowl of pretzel sticks
Dinner- Buffet with 2 giant plates of spaghetti with cheese sauce, 1 plate of linguini with marinara meat sauce, 2 breadsticks, 6 cookies, 1 brownie
Snack- Apple with peanut butter packet and bowl of pretzel sticks
I'm so bloated my joints hurt and I can't bend over. I can't believe I ate so much
You really should be getting the support of a competent professional especially if you are refeeding after a prolonged deficit.7 -

Because i used to binge eat.. and i mean i could pack away food but.. im having my doubts about the above menu
I guess I would describe it as giant because it was heaped up like a mound covering an entire standard buffet plate
I am glad you're willing to eat!
Not knowing what has been happening in your recent past and given the many health concerns associated with your current excessively low weight, the only responsible thing i can do is urge you to enlist professional support during your refeed especially if starting after a prolonged period of starvation.1 -

I hope you aren't trying to lose weight. In fact, I seriously hope you are trying to gain weight. While I do think people put often to much stock in BMI, 15.4 is really low and definitely cause for concern. Why are you trying to maintain such a low weight?
I'm actually quite healthy! I'm very petite but I'm also only 22. I maintain on a pretty low amount of calories so I track it on MFP
Just because you feel healthy doesn't mean you actually are. At 88 pounds you're a good 20 pounds underweight.
I was just at the doctor for an unrelated issue and I was given a clean bill of health other than my weight being low. Annual lab work was great as well. I understand and appreciate the concern though!
There's no way a doctor gave okay to being 20lbs underweight..11 -
The nine are not there. Get them out of your mind. In a few days after you digest and go to the bathroom and your water weigh returns to normal they will be gone.
Your goal of maintenance is the concern.
A 5ft 3" person who is 22 does not maintain at 1000 Cal.
A 5ft 3" person who is under ~113lbs should not be restricting calories.
1000 Cal a day is an attempt at restriction.9 -

I'm not trying to gain weight, just maintain. I wouldn't think that my body would be in starvation mode if I'm maintaining my weight with my current intake?
Starvation mode doesn't exist. He's talking about the fact that you have or are starving yourself at your normal weight.7 -
At 1000Cal a day and your current weight your body is not in starvation mode, it is just plain and simple starving.10

But my metabolism is so slow that I stay the same weight. I understand that 1,000 is low to be maintaining on but I would gain if I ate what MFP suggested I eat for maintenance.
The first cognitive dissonance is that your goal is to maintain and not to gain.8 -
Yes.... You would gain.
I think that is what posters are suggesting.5 -

And you should be gaining weight anyway.
Have you lost weight in the past? Rapid loss, especially to where you are now, could have messed with your metabolism.0 -
At 88 lbs your goal should be to gain.4

how much of that weight do you think is water and food in your system, in 2 days 9 pounds lol the only real way to see if its water weight or food still in your system or both or just fat, go get a hydrostatic body fat test eat for 2 days and then go get your body fat retested thats the only real way too know for sure if its fat or food or water you gained0
