Ladies only!! Water Weight.



Recommended Posts

When you do start getting your "Water weight" before your period? Does it actually show up on the scale for you?

Some months, I do, some months, I don't. But this month, when I'm watching the scale closely because of my fill and my new exercise schedule, naturally - there it is, 3 days before my period :/

Yep, exactly what Dee said. I gain 4-8 lbs approximately 5 days before. When the Water weight goes away, it usually takes another 1 or 2 with it!

I start to retain Water 6 days before I start, and I gain 8# every time. I lose it starting 4 days out. That's the day I have to pee non-stop!

Sometimes. First period after banding was only 2 weeks after the operation, I plateuaed on 105kg for 7 entire days (I was so not expecting to plateau 2 weeks in!) then after it started by day 2, I dropped 2.5kg overnight.

When I'm dieting I can usually drop a dependable kilo or two on day 2. However my second cycle has just finished and there was no weight effect at all. I dont pay much attention to when I'm due anymore because I've had my tubes tied and most definitely will not be falling pregnant again so I dont really care, its been regular as clockwork forever. But sometimes when I"ve not been looking after myself I have plenty of warning its coming, bloating, a few zits, sore boobs and sometimes first day cramping. This time nothing at all and no Water bloating - less crap in my system makes a difference.

Usually I gain 2 to 3 lbs a few days before that then goes away a few days after.

My biggest issue with the whole thing is that my band gets super tight right before my period and doesn't loosen up for quite a while after. It's pretty obnoxious.

Thank you for sharing :)

And ya, my boobs are my indicator lol. I've haven't been regular since I went off the pill 6 years ago - then, I had it predicatable to the hour! Now, it's 17-20 days, whenever the heck it feels like it :/

I should know better than to get on the scale anywhere NEAR that time of the month.

It should be a rule. I think I'll tape it above my scale. "Do your boobs hurt? STAY OFF!"

      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.
