Aaah me too!! I've gained about 8 lbs. I blame the fact that I was sick for 2 weeks and so were kiddos, but hubby says its because I know my surgery is coming up. Anyways, hard to be motivated to exercise when I'll just have to start back over after my surgery. But enough is enough, tomorrow I'm getting back on the bandwagon!

This isn't uncommon at all! I'd probably think the same way! Just try to remember that the more pounds you go into the surgery with, the less stellar your results will be, because if you lose the weight later, it could compromise your end result.
