Please Help Not sure what to do?

I am 40 years old and upset because I started taking progesterone in March, my appetite has increased, and I noticed my stomach has been truly bloated.
I have felt better using the progesterone mentally, but I am now on progesterone pills, 100mg 50 mg of DHEA and 2% of testosterone. I am so upset about the weight gain and my Doctor says that she has only seen two of her patients gain weight. She is telling me to stop the DHEA and continue the progesterone, but I am not wanting to feel this bloat that I am having and weight gain. I had a gastric bypass, so my body may not process the progesterone well. My progesterone was 127 before I started, if progesterone isn't causing this weight gain, why are so many women here complaining and asking for your help?
I am not trying to be rude, but I am just concerned and want to feel better, I noticed that my mood isn't getting better, I am worried if I stop the progesterone I will return to feeling bad, please help what should I do?
