i'm having two possible issues right now and im scared because of it! first the scale went up by 4 pounds. Not sure if my body is retaining water or if im doing something completely wrong. My period was due to come on may 11th and no sign of it yet. so im also afraid that i may be pregnant. Lord please no! If I'm not pregnant, and my period is just late, I'm hoping that the 4 pound gain is due to that. I've not seen a jump in the positive direction on the scale since before surgery. That freaked me out. But what's even more scary is the possible reason it could have jumped. Emotional wreck right now. any thoughts?

When was your surgery?

Very normal to encounter a weight stall and Aunt Flo at the same time. Your body is adjusting. Make sure you're drinking water as required. Water keeps you regulated on so many fronts, including that time of the month. I just went through the same situation last month and when Aunt Flo finally appeared, the scale reflected a loss of 5 lbs (3 pounds were from a previous gain). Words of wisdom--try not to weigh 3-4 days prior to your period or 1-2 days afterwards. It will save you worry. Keep up the hydration. Breathe and listen to your body. What's it telling you?

I guess my next question would be if TOM has been regular other than now since surgery? If I were you I would take a pregnancy test to put your mind at ease. Then at least you wouldn't be agonizing...
