What do I do about weight gain during my period?

I gained 4 lbs overnight when I got my period last week!! It hasn't come back off. I just went off of the pill. I am 18 mos post op and was into normal weight range and this has blown me back out! I am so incredibly depressed and don't understand how my period could have caused this weight to be a SUSTAINABLE weight gain - obviously not water. Please - any advice would be appreciated. Each day that goes by has me more depressed and frantic. I have not experienced this type of weight fluctuation that didn't come back off in a few days.
