Stall Before Monthly Visitor....



Recommended Posts

Does anyone else seem to stall for a few days before your monthly period?? I'm noticing a trend, and I'm just wondering if this is normal.

I don't get a period thanks to my Implanon, but I do notice that around the time when I *should* get it my weight fluctuates a bit. I'm guessing it's Water weight.

Oh yes, every month, even before surgery, I gain 2-5 lbs the week before but it dissapears the week after, just Water weight for me....thank goodness!

Yes, I'm three months out and each month I've stalled the week before my period and within a day or two of it starting I drop 2-4lbs seemingly over night.

I'm nearly two years out and I actually gain a few pounds every month the week before my cycle. I always gasp in shock the morning I hit the scale and see the gain. Then I think about what time of month it is and shrug it off. It always drops right back off once I'm done.

Thank you all! I'm glad not to be the only one! This drives me crazy! Part of being a woman I guess. This is the first time since my surgery that I actually gained a couple pounds. My period has come and I'm back down three pounds! phew!

      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.
