This might be a little TMI for the guys so apologies

Okay ladies, I'm just over 5 weeks post op gastric sleeve, including my pre op diet I've lost 20kgs or 44lbs. However I've noticed that every time I get my period my weight loss stalls for the whole 6 days. I'm not super worried about it but just wanted to see if this happens to anyone else??

Omg I didn't want to hear that! Well I had mine during surgery and definitely lost. But I guess I will see in coming week if this brings me another stall!

Booooooo...
I wanted this to be SO MUCH MORE 'TMI'...

Oh well...

Maybe next time...

Do you possibly have PCOS?

Or, it could be that you retain Water on your period. Or, maybe it's just our female hormones that love to torture us.

Mine stalls around my period, or pms but then I lose a few pounds in like 1 day so it's not really a stall.

I mean most women retain Water around that time so it makes sense.

I don't consider 6 days a stall.

You don't lose weight every day.

If you know you are on your period, that isn't a stall that is just your period.

I suppose stall is the wrong word, cause the moment my period stops the scales move again. I'm not super stressed about it just wanted to check if this happen to other ladies.

Yeah, since your hormones are fluctuating at that time, it makes sense!
