Sleeve and PMS.



Recommended Posts

How does PMS affect you and the scale? I did not really notice it last month but know that I will be starting soon and was just wondering how to prepare myself....

I tend not to gain weight, but not lose it either. I've noticed that my weight loss comes to a screeching halt and after I get my period, then I drop a pound or two. BUT, I am still the psycho woman a couple of days ahead of time (getting mad at little things) - my hubby was dearly hoping that would change -- oh well. :lol:

Same exact results for me too. My cramping isn't as bad though either.

I cannot complain at all. I've never been able to maintain during this time. I'd usually go up 3-5 Lbs - sometimes even more during my PMS/Pd. So, LG!!! I do truly love my sleeve. Too bad I'm already married. :P

Okay I should start any day now and my head hunger is nuts, just as it was before surgery. Only now I can't put away 3000 calories in one sitting. Do any of u have that problem?

Funny one this is ... my monthly friend still hasn't regulated itself properly... no average cycle as yet... I am hoping that as I lose weight this will get better! But I have always had this problem.

When she is here, the week before is a nightmare... no lose on the scale and sometimes I get real bad head hunger and very moody. The week of her visit, again I rarely lose weight, and if I do it is no more than a pound. The week after is much better... I might lose 2lb but I feel so much better...lol... glad she has come and gone I suppose! =]

Hormones really baffle me!

      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.
