Why did I gain 5 pounds?

I had a tummy tuck on 5/5/04 and after a week or so I weighed 162. I have been weighing 162 for the past few weeks and then I missed my period due to messing up with the pill and having breakthrough bleed. I haven't changed my eating habits only thing is I believe I eat a lot of peanuts. I need to figure out how I weigh 167. Could it be that much water gain. I do eat carbs but no bread and no rice. Pasta sometimes but not everyday. I eat oatmeal every day for mid morning during the work week. But I start my day with a protein shake most days. Please help me understand. Thanks. Ronika 314/167
