Do you catch up on loss after water retention goes away?

I am curious as to whether the TOM stalls that people experience are followed by a slightly larger than normal loss when the water weight finally comes off. In other words, if I was losing 5-6 pounds a week and I now am stalling but can feel that fat is still dropping off me that is being verified by measurements, will I catch back up or have I just lost ground on the overall weight loss for this given week permanently. (ie has anyone ever jumped on the scale after this monthly nightmare is over to lose 3-4 pounds in a day as opposed to resuming losing 1 a day?

after my last TOM, I did lose 3 lbs in one day. :)

Thanks. That was was what I was hoping to hear that is in fact possible to make up some lost ground when the water weight drops off.
