Pre surg weight gain
It depends on the amount of gain on what they say. I gained 5lbs between appointments 2 months apart. They weren't happy but it was that time of the month and I always retain fluid. I explained that but still they wanted me to be down that weight the next time I came back. I made sure I was plus some.

Curiosity - besides some weight gain do you have anything like hair loss, fatigue, acne, difficulty concentrating, sore joints, hot or cold all of the time?

I have hashimotos (hypothyroidism) and if it is uncontrolled I can have this happen. High levels of stress can affect your hormones and through thyroid levels out of wack.
The other thing is something that I know I can be guilty of is not eating mindfully when I am stressed. I tend to pop food into my mouth without thinking. Maybe try really working at recording everything you eat and be honest. In the end the only person being cheated is yourself when you don't record everything?.
