I am 16 weeks post op. I lost 61 pounds initially over this four month period.

In the last couple of weeks I have noticed weight gain. I have gained 10 pounds over the last two weeks to be specific. I am not eating any differently than before. I do drink protien suppliments, but not daily. I walk for exercise. My hair is falling out by the handful and I have not had my period for two months. I am not pregnant (tested). Is there a possibility that my weight gain is connected with me not having my period? I am desperate for an answer. I am scared that I am going to continue to gain weight. I did talk to my surgeon about my hair falling out and not having a period. He said that some people go through these adjustments and if things don't get back to normal within the next couple of months to visit my gynecologist. Any suggestions about preventing further weight gain?
