Weight loss and night sweats? (For the ladies)

I've been on a 3 months stall (well serious slow down...like 7lbs in 3 months).  Then I had a huge incisional hernia repaired two weeks ago and WOOOOOOSH...I am losing weight SO fast again!!!  5 pounds in the last 6 days!

My question:   Do any of you ladies find, when you're going through a "speedy" weight dropping period, that you sweat a lot at night?  

I've had "menstrual" night sweats before, but this is nuts!  I've been waking up drenched every night for a week now.  Could it be that my metabolism has gone into overdrive?  Or is there another explanation?  (I'm relatively certain it's not hormonal.)

Could be a drop in blood sugar during the night.  Eating a snack high in protein right before bed helps prevent night sweats for me.

Thanks Kelly, I will give that a try tonight.

I'm on the Depo shot, so I don't have a period. I don't recall getting night sweats when I did, though. Like Kelly said, I've heard that low blood sugar will do that to you, although I've never experienced that (yet), either. I do know that if I have too much salt during the day, I'll wake up in a pool of sweat. The first time, I thought I peed the bed, until I realized my pillow was just as soaked.

I have night sweats every single night, I went through surgery induced menopause 10 yrs ago so I know it's not that. Good to know that low blood sugar can cause night sweats. Thanks for asking that question!
