I know this might be a stupid question but I never paid attention to it when I was heavier but is it normal to gain 3+ lbs during that time of the month? I got on my scale this morning and I was shocked to see the gain and I've been doing everything right.

Yep. I normally fluctuate about 1-1.5kg just before, then go back down after. It's the only time I ever gain.

My record is 7 pounds! I gain it the week before and then lose it the day before or the first day. My sister is the same but she doesn't lose hers until the end of her period.

I'm hoping that when I'm smaller my pre period weight gain will be less too!

Before wls, I would gain up to 5 or 6 pounds but now I lose at least 1 pound if I don't stay the same. I have been recording this since the month after my surgery because I thought it was strange especially since I ALWAYS gained before. I'm not complaining but it's weird to me.

When I have my TOM I can gain up to 5 lbs but it is always gone by the end...

This is week 4 for me post op I was down 28 pounds and I've gained 5 back I hope this is whats happening to me since my time of the month is due on the first or second week of december I'm eating as I am told my water intake give or take is 40oz a day and the protein is welllll maybe 40 I can't do more than that hope this is going to work for me I'm have my 2nd check up tommorow.

Before surgery I would gain about 5 pounds the week before my period. Now that I've had surgery I stay the same and start losing weight again the day my period starts. I seem to plateau after ovulation and stay the same weight until I get my period.

Just came back from the doctor and he said that thisis normal when TOM is near not to worry it will all regulate soon enough i'm 4 weeks out.
