So I was backed up in the poo dept for a few days and had to do magnesium citrate lax yest per gi doc reccomendation...lots of diarrhea and still have some today. was up a lb this morning...how is that possible? I would think with being cleared out I would be down. Stomach still very distended and all gurgly. Is this water retention or something? It is an osmotic lax.

    One lb gain during a time to GI distress is not something to freak out about. Just stick to your plan.

    Jess... Sweetie.... Calm down... I know a bit of your history since I read your blog and sweetie you need to focus on what is really important right now. Remember your long term goals and try really hard not to focus on the short term inconveniences and struggles you will have to face to get to those long term goals. You were put here for a reason. God has a plan for you and it isn't to spend your life suffering. Please call one of your support people and have them help you get your head back in the game. It's what your father would have wanted and it what God wants for you as well. *hugs*

    Up a pound does not mean up a pound of fat.

    GI distress does weird things... Just try to stay off the scale while your body readjusts. Drink plenty of fluids and relax.
