My Reality Is...Part 2

No sooner do I write a blog post about how well I have done over the course of the past three days, I now have to report that I have spiked back up in weight. But I honestly have no idea why this has happened.
I have eaten right, exercised, counted calories, watched my carbs...and for my efforts I am given a slight gain. I'm not frustrated about this, but I think about something Dale (DHB) said in response to my blog post yesterday, and that is that she fluctuates like this as well. Meaning she will lose for a few days, and then see a weight gain spike, only to receive more weight loss in days following the initial gain.
This has me wondering if there is anyone else within the community who has experienced this oddity? And if so, what did you do to aid in combating such a troublesome concern? Did you increase your exercises even more? Did you reduce you caloric intake? Did you revert back to a full or partial liquid diet? I genuinely want to know. Because while I am not very moved by this latest minor setback, many more of these could easily find me wanting to bang my head against the nearest wall.
In any event, I know in the greater scheme of things that I can expect setbacks like this to happen from time to time. The difference being with each one that occurs is in understanding that I may have done everything as I am expected to and still find myself with a gain of some sort. This is not to say that I am behaving in a manner that is unsuitable to my VSG WLS, rather it is my body's way of putting up a fight against the WLS itself - almost as if it screaming out in frustration that I have in someway tricked it into WLS - a notion I scoff at because I am fighting a difficult enough battle in my stab at losing the excess weight. The last thing I want or need is to face even more opposition over something I really have no control over.
