Losing Weight During Tom



Recommended Posts

Am I the only one that seems to lose better during TOM? I didn't lose anything from July 1st - 10th. On July 11th I saw signs that TOM was about to hit. I started losing that day and have lost weight every day since. I went from 234.8 on 7/10 to 231.4 today. It is the BEST part of TOM in my opinion. :)

Be glad that you are different in this case!! :)

TOM seems to be my worst enemy right now. I was sleeved on 11th of Jan. My TOM is mostly around 25th. I will lose fabulosly during 1st two weeks of the month, then it will slow gradually and then come to a stand still close to atleast 10 - 15 days around TOM. It is so frustrating.

Time of month

Yes, you're alone in this and I'm jealous! I had about a three pound GAIN every month around my cycle, with a week on either side where I'd usually stay within half a pound on the scale. Closer to mid-cycle (ovulation), I'd drop all of my weight for the month in one week.

Even in maintenance I see a gain around TOM. Be thankful. We never know how our hormones will affect us!

It's different for me every month. Most will tell you days 15-21 are awesome for weight loss because, if your hormones are working properly, and you get the testosterone burst -- you lose more. I slow down between days 24-03 the most, perhaps losing/gaining the same pound for a week. Then it kicks in again.

You are not alone, atleast from my part.

I now only really loose weight around my time of month, pretty much only loose then nowadays, but loose 4 kgs/8 pounds over a few days.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
