weight gain around period?

[chicamam1 1]

Anyone notice not losing weight around their period time? I have weighed myself nad lost nothing last two days, but know im getting close. via cramps, crappy mood etc lol.. Im wondering if i shouldnt weigh myself until after my period ends? What does everyone else do during this time?

I gain 5 to 7 pounds on my period. And it takes a day or two after its ended for the weight to fall back off.

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.

Don't be discouraged. It happens to all of us. I don't get on the scale around that time, it will eventually go away.
