I was sleeved on 1/16/15 and have been at a stall for the last week or so- fighting the same few pounds- and am now GAINING weight! I feel like crying! I go to the gym 5 days a week, eat pretty low carb and while, yes, I do indulge in naughty food here and there- its not a lot and it is tracked in My Fitness Pal and I am usually still on track.

I am within 2 weeks of my period starting and feel all over the placeeel. I am EXTRA crazy feeling right now: I can't concentrate, want to eat ALL the time, am super duper tired despite good sleep, and my boyfriend is getting on my NERVES- for no reason at all. I got angry because he said good-bye this morning before leaving for work. Uh- that's crazy-town right there!

I did just start Spironolactone for PCOS-related issues (excessive hair- woohoo!). However, I don't see how that would cause me to gain weight and go wacky.

Is a 3 month stall a thing? Is this just a viscous period? Is anyone else getting weird/crazy PMS post surgery?

I feel like I am being a baby; I know that with eating right and working out, weight will eventually come off. However, seeing the scale go UP kills me.

PS: I meant to post this in the Powder Room, but messed up and am not sure how to move it or delete the post :/ Sorry!

I don't know about weight gain with Spironolactone but I got incredible uncle weakness and foggy brain. Went away about 6 weeks after stopping it.

I took it years ago and it worked as a diuretic. I would think it might help with Water weight? I don't know.....everyone is so different.

If you are doing everything you're supposed to be doing food wise, then this is temporary and the weight will come off. It's hard to see it on the scale, though, so maybe.....stay off the scale until after your period? Just a suggestion :-)

I've been taking the drug for six months and have lost 130 pounds since September. My period is very irregular, but my doc says it is due to the weight loss.
