Eating more with TOM at 4month out.

[NisaletOAM 48]

I have notice that at almost 4 month out on March 5th I can eat a little more when I'm in my time of the month. I'm not saying I can eat alot but I would like to know if any of the ladies go through this. I also feel cravings for chocolates I have lost 56 pounds to date I don't want to sabatage myself.

any advice on what I should do during that time?

Have a chocolate Protein Drink or you can have a SF chocolate pudding or a SF fudgsicle (spelling?)

I had a hysterectomy years ago (still have ovaries) so don't quite know what that's like anymore

Yes! Yes! And more yeses! I don't know if it's the hormones or not, but I am able to eat more a couple days before I start until almost the end. Cravings are horrible, but that's nothing new. I just try and never be hungry. I keep lots of good Snacks on hand, like veggies, and meat and cheese. Don't but the junk...makes it easier to avoid. If you must then try and get some Atkins bars....some of them are just like having a real candy bar. There are also these really good chocolate treats that are sugar free that are delicious, however don't have more then two...otherwise your tummy will be hurting and you will be sitting on the toilet. Good luck!

Yes yes yes ... you were sleeved same day as me by the way I definately find myself craving carbs and sugar and wanting to graze. I never experienced this pre-sleeve! But then I was never deprived either I allow myself a small treat e.g. mini choc bar and go for an extra long walk. Exercise is a good distraction.

Thanx so much for the advice guy I was getting real worried about this yes I will get some healthy snaks and look for sugar free options for these kind occassions.

thanx again ladies.

Yup I still get cravings and can eat a little more before my period. I tend to be very hungry the week before but once I start my appetite is gone

Yes!! I want to eat more about 4 days prior to my cycle and it was like that pre surg too! I just try to eat Protein Snacks. Having Quest Protein Bars on hand help for me, my favorite is chocolate brownie. I can indulge without the guilt.

Yes! Just noticed that on my last cycle. Seems like I was hungry all day long! I ate a string cheese when I felt like I had to eat something. Sucks!

This is my first cycle since I was sleeved. I have always had one or two days each month when my appetite is markedly increased. I am having those days right now. I have noticed that my mind is wandering to carbs. I am just filling my belly with Protein on a regular basis. I have also been stalled for several days. I am hoping that once I start, my stall will end.

My favorites for TOM are cocoa almonds.. almost like chocolate covered almonds but with only 5 carbs per 1/4 cup and these delicious "Supreme Protein" Protein bars. Specifically the caramel nut chocolate flavor, you have a chocolate outer coating with little crisp rice (like krackle), nougat and real caramel. 15g Protein, and 5 sugars, (15 sugar alcohols). They are crazy good and fake low carb pretty well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001RD6L98/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=solacefarm-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B001RD6L98&adid=1S7GY74BPCPYDT2DCPQH&

Walmart has them too, looks like GNC as well.
