I was sleeved April 26th but the second I started my period, I stalled. I'm wondering if there is a connection?? Maybe retaining Water or something?? I also had Mirena put in March 10th so I know that spotting and what not are normal for the first 3-6 months, but this is an actual period and I've stopped losing weight for the last few days. Anybody have similarities or know anything about this??

Every time I have my period I either gain a lb or two, or stall. Being a girl sucks

Thank you so much for replying to my question. I was really starting to wonder if I was the only one. I'm so crampy and blah feeling, I've been reading other period posts and it sounds like my carb cravings are pretty normal too. I haven't been hungry at all until 3 days ago when I started. Blah!! This sucks!!

Nope, Because a stall is a month with no movement of inches or Lbs,

So a stall has to be a month long?? Is that what the doctors say?? I've never heard that before, but I'm pretty new so, who knows!! I certainly didn't :-)

I have never heard that, lots of people complain about stalls a week, two etc.

Been here awhile and never heard the month thing before. Anyways, I always gain a lb or two before I start...I crave carbs also. But, the few days following I lose a few extra too...it's just Water weight.

I have had numerous stalls and none have lasted more then a week. And I always show extra on the scale with my periods post op. I think it seems to be a common thing from what I've seen on here and obesity help.

      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.
