1.5 Weight gain why???

I joined MFP last Monday. Yesterday the scale showed 133.5 and now today it shows 135. I am wondering if this is normal. I was off to a rocky start logging my food this first week due to Thanksgiving (which I only ate a small plate of food and a average size piece of pumpkin pie with whipped cream). I could only work out Mon, Fri, Sat - because I had a small surgical proceedure done on Tues and was told no working out for 2 days. I drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. I know some people will look at my food diary and tell me my cals are too low, but I eat throughout the day and I am not eating if I don't feel hungry. I am very small framed. Is this water weight? Is this normal?

    weight fluctuation is normal and no big deal especially if there is a week where you werent consistant such as thanksgiving week.

    Probably water weight I wouldn't get too bummed about it. I know fcertain times of the month my weight goes up 5 pounds from water weight. Normal daily weight fluctuates from 1-3 sometimes 5 pounds just from water weight.
