Freeking Period/water Weight



Recommended Posts

gosh am i the only one who gains weight during their TOM

i have been know to gain up to 10 pounds and there is not a blasted thing i can do....def distressing to me

and certainly puts a damper on a wonderful long weekend

and fyi, my eating was fantastic this weekend and i did not divert off my eating path so if anyone reading this ponders it was because

i overate somewhere, that is not the case.

again, just venting and bitching as it sucks to have a period and be bloated........

You are definitely not the only one, in fact, it is perfectly normal. Just keep on doing what you have been doing and keep your eye on the big picture. You'll be right!

Right there with you! I generally gain 2-5 lbs. during that time...no worry, it comes off again. I have been weighing myself daily for over two years since my band was placed, so it doesn't surprise me any more.

      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.
