Did I lose to much weight to fast?

I've started back on a cut and after 2 days I was down 5 pounds but weighing myself the day after I gained another pound and the day after that I gained another pound. Is my body just adjusting towards the change in diet or is it bad that I lost 5 pounds and gained 2 in the matter of 3 days?

Don't look at it on such a short time frame. The first several days to 2 weeks it is typical to have bigger drops, although not everyone will. Additionally, exercise and sodium can cause big fluctuations in weight, so those day to day drops and jumps are pretty much useless for information.

If you are weighing daily, look at a trending app, Trendweight, HappyScale, Libra are the ones I know off, but there are others. To get a look picture of what's going on a couple weeks of data is needed.
