|  Overnight fluctuations
Hi I'm new here and hoping for some advice please.
Why is it that my weight can vary by up to 7lb overnight?
I have had a full hysterectomy, so it aint the period thing.
This happens on a regular basis, but just now its depressing me as I have been on a very strict week one diet where by they say you can loose between 10-14lb (I know this isnt always the best but I wanted a boost to get me going). After 3 days I had lost nothing, on day 4 I had lost 5lb, weighed again today (day 5) and put back on 4lb.
Please can someone make sense of this, really fed up with myself.

Welcome to our family, ask you asked it would help if we have your stats..sounds like you just had sugery, so dont worry, heck i gained 20lbs during my stay in hospital...its all the IVS, and water retention, it took me around 3 weeks to start losing, our bodies have gone thru alot, could be many things going on, perhaps a pain pill even...as said Doc will have the right answers, I just wanted to say hi and Welcome...  annie~

I do know that hydration plays a big part in temporary fluctuations.

Welcome, first, don't get hung up on the scale. If fluctuations are going to bother you, weigh every couple of weeks.
There are a lot of things that can impact weight, dehydration, sodium, hormones, time of day etc. Never weigh more than once a day and preferably only every couple of weeks.
I do weigh daily, but I don't worry about 2-3 pounds as that is normal fluctuation. I also monitor other items that my scale calculates so I don't just look at the weight.
Again, welcome to the best group on the web!!

Just saying.... | I just saw something either today or yesterday on TV (don't remember what) but it said something like 3.5 pounds a day. come to think of it, it must have been a commercial for a laxative. Granted, we don't eat the same as the majority of people, but there is still weight to it.

Just saying.... | Some us need to way daily, I have water retention problems and if I dont stay on top of it, it can become an issue bigtime, also me weighing daily keeps me a lil more on top of making the right chocies, worse yet hubby is in there most alway s when I weigh, so it keeps honest too lol...so I know many say not to weigh daily , but I feel more in control if I do..and i dont stress over a couple pounds gain , cause yes poo can weigh lol....so for those who weigh daily, dont stress if you gain a little..
