Tighter that time of the month?



Recommended Posts

For the last 2 days I was hardly able to keep anything down, I PBed on shrimp and had a really rough night. Yesterday I PBed on my way to work after I ate a teeny bit of tail mix-had to pull over my car. I couldn't really eat much the rest of the day. I thought I might have had a slipped band. I was googling it and getting info.

Well today I get my period. I was able to eat again with no PBing.

Does anyone else have a fickle band that time of the month? I :huh:

mine is super tight two days before my period, so just drink liquids for those days and it seems to help with the tightness and bloating.

Mine is the same way. A couple of days before I get super tight. I just do soft foods for a couple of days! :D

I go through it every month! You just get used to it and it is a good warning you are about to start!

Oh yeah, I feel ya! When I'm PMSing I can eat like a bear, it's crazy almost like I have no band. BUT, when Aunt Flo comes the first two days I am shut down TIGHT! Nothing more solid than cottage cheese is getting through. Luckily it's only 2 days and I'm back to normal. You'll get used to it.

Thanks for all your replies! I feel better that I am not alone! Next month I will now know the reason I am tight-I actually thought my band slipped, but right afterwards I was able to eat without any problems at all! Thanks again :)

Glad I saw this post..I got a fill on Monday and I feel really tight..I was able to get some soft things down but then my cycle started and now I can't get anything but liquids down. I paged my doc and he hasn't gotten back to me and its the weekend. I'm praying that the reason I'm so tight is cuz of my cycle..I've been banded 5 months and never has it been this tight.

We sound like were going throught the same thing. I am also at 5 months and just got a fill on Wednesday. The first 24 hours after the fill I was on liquids, next 24 soft foods, the next day I was fine. I started my period last night and today I can't even get down liquids. This is NOT fun! :(

      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.
