Can a Period make you stall?

I was sleeved April 26th but the second I started my period, I stalled. I'm wondering if there is a connection?? Maybe retaining water or something?? I also had Mirena put in March 10th so I know that spotting and what not are normal for the first 3-6 months, but this is an actual period and I've stopped losing weight for the last few days. Anybody have similarities or know anything about this??

Every time I have my period I either gain a lb or two, or stall. Being a girl sucks

Thank you so much for replying to my question. I was really starting to wonder if I was the only one. I'm so crampy and blah feeling, I've been reading other period posts and it sounds like my carb cravings are pretty normal too. I haven't been hungry at all until 3 days ago when I started. Blah!! This sucks!!

Same here... I am on Mirena... i love it, every time I am on my period I gain 1-2lbs!

Nope, Because a stall is a month with no movement of inches or Lbs,

So a stall has to be a month long?? Is that what the doctors say?? I've never heard that before, but I'm pretty new so, who knows!! I certainly didn't :-)

I have never heard that, lots of people complain about stalls a week, two etc.

Been here awhile and never heard the month thing before. Anyways, I always gain a lb or two before I start...I crave carbs also. But, the few days following I lose a few extra too...it's just water weight.

I have had numerous stalls and none have lasted more then a week. And I always show extra on the scale with my periods post op. I think it seems to be a common thing from what I've seen on here and obesity help.
