That being said it's obvious that I'm still learning how to get familiar with this awesome little bariatric world! Most people (family and friends) I socialize with out here in the real world don't really understand this whole bariatric lifestyle! So I'm excited to be part of a virtual community who totally gets ME and YOU and You Too Girl! We are totally all in this together... I felt like the topic I wanted to bring up was a personal one and needed to be discussed by us women! So, here I am officially 7th months post gastric sleeve and have noticed for the past 4 months that a couple weeks before and during my period I get super hungry and quite often through the day i find it easier to eat on a regular schedule and snack between meals with no reminders. During this time I feel that I can consume more without getting as full as I usually do.I don't feel like this is a mental thing It's a real feeling...a body feeling thing...I cannot possibly understand why my pouch is not as restrictive during this time of the month? It's very strange...Has anybody else experienced this? Please do share!

I have this chronic skin condition called Hidradenitis also known as HS. I am 4 days away from being 2 months post op VSG and having the worst flare up i have ever had! I am in so much pain under my arms. Has anybody ever heard of the condition worsening after surgery? Is it because of the hormones? Change in diet? What have you done to treat it and any remedies would be helpful! Sent from my LM-Q710(FGN) using BariatricPal mobile app

Im new here...I'm 4 weeks post op VSG.Still on the soft food stage.My doc told me i should be consuming 5 small portion meals a day.Can anybody tell me how much time to give myself before having each meal? I should've asked.The only option they gave me was to schedule an appt with my nut.But, that appt is still 2 weeks away. Sent from my LM-Q710(FGN) using BariatricPal mobile app

Let me rephrase.How long/hours in between meals should i give myself before consuming another meal. Yes. I believe i should try and email my nut. Im still trying to get into the routine of things! Having had this procedure is quite the life changing experience and super time consuming. I'm trying not to overwhelm myself too much thinking about it...I work 12 hour night shifts so im trying to do some meal prepping and stuff. Sent from my LM-Q710(FGN) using BariatricPal mobile app
