weird question for women...



Recommended Posts

Does anyone get REALLY hungry when it's time for mother nature every month? I do, which I've gotten used to. BUT! I just got another fill 10 days ago (I'm now at 7 cc in a 10 cc band), and I stay hungry!! What is up with that??

Don't mistake being hungry for a craving. Sometimes I get a craving around my t.o.m. and just need a taste of something sweet or salty and am not truly hungry. This is a true learning experience for us all!!

I'm 10 days post-op and was doing great! My t.o.m has joined me and I could not stop snacking on sweets today!! Ugh.... In the long run I think 1-2 days a month is gonna kill me since I'm generally a compliant person. But, dang it was a serious craving day today... Damn hormones lol.

Well I'm sorry that you all are suffering too during this lovely time of the month, but I'm glad I'm not alone :). This truly sucks! It seems like it gets worse every month. I'm looking for the "green zone" with every fill, so being so hungry after this last one has had me concerned....

I tell ya I was done having kids being in my late forties but I had a uterine ablation to stop my periods. Best thing I ever did and it was outpatient with no after effects at all

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
