Hey Does Anyone Notice That They Are Able To Eat More When Your Menstrual Comes?

[JanellesMommy8210 8]

Hey.I just got my first menstrual since being banded yesterday and I kinda pigged out for the first time since the band. Not too bad but definitely more than I have since being banded. I am only 3 weeks out. But I made sure I walked 2 miles that evening. Is it the menstrual or do I just need my first fill soon? I notice I dont have much restriction anymore compared to my first 2 weeks or so. I can't go to the gym yet per doctors orders but I have been walking everyday at least 2 miles or more. 45 minutes or so. Help..Any advice?

I have the opposite issue. During ovulation and my period I'm very, very tight. It's not uncommon from what I hear to feel a little difference around that time.

Most of the time I become a ravenous monster, but during a few cycles I've become tight instead. Not sure what causes the difference, but man is it annoying sometimes!

for me it is weekends..I tend to indulge one day on the weekend a bit to much and it scares and shocks me,but on monday and tues I have a strict routine of measureing and being really good..and working out...Life is about little indulgences it is how to move past them, make a plan..you will do great..good luck!!

If you haven't had a fill yet then your are probally able to eat a lot anyway. During my TOM I crave more sweets and they go down eaiser (bad habbit I know). So if your like me you are probally eating slider foods....BTW a fill wont help with slider foods, they will still slide even after your start getting fills so try toget a handle on the period snacking early. I limit myslef to 2 "small" treats a day.

During PMS I am tighter. Once I start however I am ravenous. I make sure to measure the Protein and eat raw veggies until full.

I'm set to be banded this week and I've been spotting and cramping. I'm on the semi-liquid pre-op diet I noticed 2 days ago I'm ravenous which is hard on this strict diet I'm bloated so I've gained weight since I started the pre-op diet I'm frustrated, but sticking with it.
