didn't eat much yesterday but weigh 1kg more today (2.2lbs) than I did yesterday and feel elephant like. This happens regularly (fairly recently).
I put up with a weight gain of 6kgs from peri meno 10 years ago to now, chucked out clothes etc and had learnt to live with the 'new' me.
I used to weigh 53kgs, now generally weigh around 59, but this morning was over 60kg and fat. Is this fluid retention?
I fuss a bit because well, I fuss, and also my kidney function is stage 2 (whatever: GP not worried) and I drank a LOT of rooibos tea yesterday so was worried kidneys aren't flushing it all, but then again, most things have been meno related.
I'm on HRT, Evorel 75 patches, 100mg Utrogestan daily and Vagifem.
Was going out for coffee and cake with a much younger friend, now looks like just coffee.
Is this dramatic weight gain from one day to the next quite common or should I be looking for 'reasons'? I asked at the meno clinic and they said HRT can't put on weight
Thanks x
