Can bioidentical hormones cause weight gain?

I had RNY surgery in 2008. Lost 85 lb. Hypo thyroid, went on synthroid. Menopausal symptoms began, started testosterone implants and 75 ml progesterone caps for hot flashes and severe night sweats. I've been doing this for 7 months. I'm hungry, tired and gained 20lb. do I need to get off the progesterone? TSH is 2.?. I am soo disgusted with the weight gain!
