Why am I gaining weight?!

I am a month out of surgery. The first 2 weeks I dropped 21 pounds, then was at a stand still for a week and now I’ve gained 7 pounds back. What is going on?!
 
I believe your body is readjusting. 21 lbs in 14 days is not sustainable and could have been some water weight. That is probably the regain part. It is common to have a standstill early on. Frustrating but a similar thing happened to me. Keep working the plan, you will swing back the other way!
 
Maybe it could be because I am not getting my 64 oz of water and not really being able to eat what they are recommending me to eat. I’m getting like 100-250 calories a day if I’m lucky. But I will start writing everything down, I have my fitness pal so I’m sure I can do it on that! But otherwise I am feeling okay, having issues with not having energy, that’s about it.
