Absolutely. When you go off the pill, your hormones become inbalanced for a while. I gained weight too, about 8 pounds and I was also wanting to eat everything!
Your hormones will calm down in a month or 2. In the meantime, try to get moderate exercise at least 20 minutes a day (walk, jog, aerobics, etc). This helped me a great deal! You'll boost your metabolism and help your hormones as they slowlly go back to normal.

Yes, I hate to say this but while I was on the pill I gained about 35-40 pounds over the course of five years. It is just a hormonal imbalance when getting off the pill that you feel that feeding your cravings will help, but it doesn't. So, yes it is very normal to gain weight being on and getting off of the pill. Just try to control your cravings. Good luck!

No, that's weird. Usually women gain weight when they go on the pill, not off.
show some self control, you're just using the pill thing as an excuse to eat everything in sight.

I stopped the pill Dec. 10th. My waist feels thicker and my stomach is not as flat as it was. Hopefully just crazy hormones. And I am hungrier, too.

I just stopped taking mine in October and I have the same problem! Maybe it will stop! Just have to give yourself time to get your horomones and everything back to normal.
