I'm not banded yet, but I've always experienced either no weight loss or a little weight gain around my period. I don't weigh myself for a few days before until after my period. Your body retains a lot of water and is bloated. It'll go back down, and probably lower than pre period.

I agree wait a few days. A lot of it is water weight, and also bloating and other fluid build up that packs the extra weight. So don't worry or get discouraged, just work out and relax and then you'll be happy to see the scale looking "normal" again. And congrats on your loss so far!

I always experience a 1-3 pound gain right before or during the early stages of my period. But I don't consider it a "real" gain because it immediately comes back off after.

However, since I am currently pregnant, I suppose I might gain a little more than 1-3 pounds before my next period, lol.
