A little Concerned

I had my period regularly before and after surgery but no period at all last month.  2-3 weeks ago, I started taking Citracel for fiber and have gained about 10 pounds.  My eating habits and exercise habits have not changed.  Here's a sample of what I usually eat/exercise.

B: cottage cheese w/ ff swiss
S:  chicken/tuna salad w/ whole wheat ritz crackers
L:  chicken/tuna salad w/  whole wheat ritz crackers
S:  ? maybe yogurt--protein drink,
D:  chicken, fish

I have been eating the crackers since about 2 months out and have never had a issue.

fluids:  60-70oz a day includes isopure protein drink                   
exercise: 30 minute walk 4-5 days a week
zumba class:  2 times a week (stopped for about 2months, started again 2-3 weeks ago)

Any thoughts........right before my period was due on March 22nd I dropped down to 215 now I am at 224-226

 I know it's personal but how are you doing in the #2 department?

It's a lot better. Last week 3 times in one day!!!

 My gut reaction is the increase in fiber is causing an increase in water retention.  If you want to keep up with the fiber I'd try upping your water to 100oz a day and see where it gets you.

This is coming from reading the boards not from personal experience so hopefully one of the vets will stop in.

thanks, that exactly what i was thinking, but of course hearing from someone else always makes me feel better.  Now, if I could only get an IV to put in my arm at night to get more fluids in, I would be set.  100oz of water a day here I come!
