    Since you bought up hydration I just remembered it could be due to my hospital stay.. they have been pumping me full of saline.

    It's bloat, it will happen nearly every TOM so get used to it! It usually goes away within a few days (assuming your eating stays on track)

    I'm guessing you're on your period as well.

    I always gain 3-5 lbs it's all bloat/water weight. Don't sweat it and stay off the scale during TOM!

    I know this doesnt help with the TOM issue (since Im a guy), but I have seen my weight go up as far as 8 lbs in 1 week. I get on the scale first thing just about every morning. Then by the time I step on the scale for weigh in day, I still lose 1-2 lbs. The first few times I saw that I did freak out a bit. Thinking wth am I doing wrong? The average will work themselves out. Also, no Im not on my period. :)

    Bleh, I didn't gain, but I have been eating 1200 net and working out a ton (for me) and it stayed the same for the first time in a while. Does it go away, like, now that it's over if it was water weight should I be seeing a big drop in a day or two?

    Meh no I just assumed most women knew that bloating during this time was normal. Sorry if it came across as *****y :flowerforyou:

    Good grief, it took me almost to the end of this thread before I worked out what TOM was. How bloody embarrassing! lol

    I haven't weighed myself this time round, I don't want to look at the scales. I'm like a bottomless pit when it's my time, nothing fills me!!
