I was banded May 13, 2010 so it really hasn't been that long. I have noticed that I am WAY grumpier during PMS than I was pre-band. Has anyone else noticed this? Any thoughts on how to curtail this? It just doesn't seem like I have any control on how I am during this time and I really don't like it! It is not doing favorable things for various relationships all around.

Any thoughts would be great!

Thanks.

I am more emotional too! I didn't put two and two together until just now! I never had PMS before the band. Now, I can't control my emotions. It is crazy! I have no idea why and I have no words of wisdom. I just wanted to let you know you aren't alone.

It's happening to me as well!!! First off my period was almost a month late but the entire time before it came I was extremely emotional among other PMS symptoms. BTW, I was banded on 5/19/10. This may not be encouraging, but my theory, for myself is that I was always like this (except the late period). Now, I don't hide my feelings (depressed, irritated, etc.) with overeating and over-consumption of fats, sugars, salts, and other JUNK!

Thanks everyone for the replies.

I had a fill appointment today and asked my dr. about this topic. He also stated that it is an adjustment for the lifestyle change and yes, before the lifestyle change, I would over indulge with all of those things that aren't good for us. He also said it probably is still early in the process and hopefully things will seem better in the future.

So....until then... guess I will just try to hang in there.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
