Periods and restriction??



Recommended Posts

:D I am perry -menapausal and I am trying to figure out if that is playing havic with my restriction. Anybody out there have this experience? I sometimes have a period for 10-12days. I think that it might be related to the amount of restriction but it is hard to be sure. Am I crazy??? I can't pinpoint anything specific but I just have a feeling that the two are connected.

I can't offer much help. I haven't had any change since banding. I don't notice any more or less restricition during.

I have seen this discussed on here before so maybe this will bump it and others can provide you more knowledge.

Well I'm the oddball. During my TOM I felt like I lost all restriction and wanted to eat the entire kitchen in one sitting. After the TOM had passed, I went back to my usual restriction and could care less about eating.

I get restricted the week before my period. With ot without a fill. I wish it was mre consistant but I guess we cannot control that. I do try to drink more Water during that time and it seems to help a little bit.

Hey guys-

I am five weeks post op and just got my Visitor a day or so ago. I had very little symptoms of anything on day 1 but on day 2 ( usually heavy day) I suddenly developed Nausea, intestinal cramps, bloating and felt terrible. I felt really restricted today too. Everything I ate feels like it gets stuck. Anyone else? It scared me so bad, up until now I have not had any issues and then all of sudden I felt like I was dying or experiencing a slippage. Hopefully tommorrow it will all go away.

Deb

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
