God yes anything can bloat you... It's all down to the individual... Everyone on lipo I have know always have a rubbish week 3... Sadly that's when most give up... I mean I'm not being funny but a couple of pounds for living on liquid , well to me that's not worth the stress.... I bet next week you will lose well... I think I lost...7,5,2,3,3,4,... Then I stopped and maintained for 4 months.. Til now . The 2 was deflating but in the end it evened out.. X
