For the Ladies - TOM weight gain?

A question for the ladies who have had the sleeve. Do you experience weight gain with your TOM? If so, when does it usually happen - the week of, the week before or 2 weeks before?

I'm just trying to figure out why I gained 4 pounds a week ago and have stayed at that level. At the support group meeting last night, the PA suggested it could be because of TOM. I'm inclined to think that is what caused it because I haven't really changed any of my other eating habits. However, having my surgery a month ago and it screwing with my TOM, I really don't know when I should be having it again so am a bit confused with this weight gain. I should have started my TOM last month on the day of my surgery, but it started a week later. So now I am thinking that I will start sometime next week (at least that is what I am hoping considering my normal migraines that come just before TOM started yesterday).

I definitely gain weight the week before the TOM...and it seems to be holding on to my body as long as it can! lol. I haven't lost any weight since about a week and a half out of surgery and even gained .4 last week...which I'm attributing to the Water weight. I'm hoping as soon as I start the weight will begin dropping again, but we'll see! I think the surgery definitely messed with my system too because I was supposed to start 4 days ago.

I'd love to hear from people who are a bit further out than us to know what we should expect!
