how to control rapid weight gain after STOPPING birth control?

Question:

I am exercising (cardio, and strenght), eating 5-6 small balanced meals a day, drinking 8-10 glasses of water. why can't I seem to loose the weight I gained after getting off borth control (over 10 pounds in less than a month). My doctor pretty much told me that what I was saying was not possible. but I wouldn't be concerned if I really wasn't doing the things I mentioned above. I do not have a thyroid problem, and I have tons of energy. what could be wrong with my body? Has anyone ever dealt with this before? Can it get better?
Answers:
How long have you been off the birth control? If it has been last than a month, you may be retaining water for no apparent reason at all. Did you have surgery recently? When I had surgery, I gained 20 pounds within the span of two weeks, but then I lost it just as fast because my body was retaining water and solids for some reason. Also, what is your weight? If you never had a weight problem and are gaining, I would check again with the doctor. The other possibility is you might be pregnant.
