Grumpier PMS

[momofwaz 0]

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.

Hello, I am the experiencing the same problem. I was banded on March 19th and I am so emotional and really cannot control it. My cycle flow is the same but hormones are all over the place. Hope someone will respond to this post because I need help on this one to.

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.
