I’ve gained about 4 pounds in roughly a week and a half. 

I very much doubt it! You’d have to be eating constantly. My suggestion? Check your sodium intake - and then your scale. I don’t trust my scale right now either, but for the opposite reason: it shows unrealistic (IMO) *losses.* But it shows a downward trend so until I get another one I’ll have to settle for that. 

Thank you grammalaura, I agree. I’m increasing my water intake to see if it helps. I’ve admittedly not been doing that lately. I have to watch food intake long term since I’ve gained a few pounds, but a 4 pound hike in such a short period of time is not normal weight gain.  

Your steady downward trend is a good sign, though!
