female only Stalls and PMS

[bekkamyhousekey 12]

Ladies, I am about one month post op and I have have been stalled for about 10 days - ever since I've been on my period. Do you stall like this every month?? It's killing me. I usually have my period 1-3 weeks long. I would HATE stalling for that long every-every other month.

Hopefully after your weight loss you will become more regular with your cycle like I did. I used to never know when it was coming, or how long it would be...and now I know that every 30 days it will be here like clock work, and it will last 3.5-4 days. It is much better. As for the stalls...I noticed that I would stop losing weight, if not gain a pound or two right before my period, as well as be hugrier and able to eat more with it. Then within two days of my period being over I would start losing drastically....like 4-6 pounds within a week and a halfway time. It got to be where I would look forward to my period coming because I knew that after it was done I would lose a bunch. As for losing slowly....I am thankful for the slow weight loss that I did have because I am not battling loose skin now. Good luck to you, and try not to stress to much about these things...stress helps you hold onto weight more anyways.

I'm only about 2 months out but so far the only "stall" I have had was the one from the first month. It lasted nearly two and a half weeks too so brace yourself. Hopefully that won't happen to you but it might so get ready. I lived by the mantra "I cannot maintain THIS WEIGHT eating only 800 calories a day, it's not physically possible, this will pass" and sure enough, it DID pass, but it took time. I don't know why that happened but it seems to be pretty much the norm around here. This month I have not experienced a stall in weight loss having anything to do with my cycle. In fact, this month food is a real turn off/debby downer.
