Hi Jimmyaction,
I have always gained about 10 Lbs after each fast I've done. When you fast, the first week you lose a lot of water weight and you are also are emptying all of the solids that have been sitting in your intestines. The weight you are seeing on the scale right now is not "fat" weight and it's normal. Most likely your body is holding on to the water you are consuming. Scales are very frustrating devices!
That's why on my current fast, I intent to lose weight until I'm at least 10 Lbs LESS than my goal weight because I know I'll gain that back just through the transition to solids again.
Try not to let it discourage you - it's a very normal thing to have happen.
