8/21 sleeve, PMS gain? Anyone else???



Recommended Posts

I have lost 19.5lbs since my liquid diet on the 11th and today I am up two lbs. I have not cheated, hit my Water and Protein goals

everyday and get a small walk in as well. I'm hoping someone else has had a gain during PMS or their period? Just a bit bummed being one week

out of surgery.

This always happens to me. My first month i gained about 3 lbs and held it until my last day and then dropped about 6 lbs in one day. Now that i'm further out i gain 2 lbs at the beginning then continue to drop a lbs a day during.

Every month, like clockwork - 3-4 pounds. It falls off after my cycle.

I gain anywhere from 3 to 7 pounds in Fluid weight during the monthly cycle, which disappears about a week after the first day of my period.

I only weigh myself once a month, about a week after my period ends. Weighing in more often isn't going to make the scale's number move faster, but it does create anxiety for some of us.

Here's a great posting regarding weights and the scale:

Quote

Just a periodic reminder that scales measure the gravitational pull of the earth at a given moment in time - nothing else.

Scales don't measure the presence or absence of health.

Scales don't measure happiness.

Scales don't measure success.

And scales don't measure effort.

Too many people believe scales measure things other than gravity, and for some, those beliefs lead them to abandon their best efforts.

If you're ever curious about how you're doing, consider the fact that the answer to that question has to do with the doing.

Are you cooking more frequently? Minimizing your liquid calories? Decreasing your restaurant reliance? Not drinking to excess? Cultivating sleep? Exercising as much and as often as you can reasonably enjoy? Keeping a food diary of some sort?

The answer to those questions (and of course that list isn't exhaustive, nor will all questions apply to all people) are how you're doing.

Please don't confuse what you weigh with how you're doing. Though there's often overlap, they're definitely not one in the same.

Thank you, all 3 of you, I feel much better. It is a week and two days since surgery and a gain was going to make me cry, that and stupid PMS, sigh.

I was sleeved last November. I just now, last month actually, started my period for the first time. I had a bit of weight gain, but it has since went back down. The period is here again this month, and it's much worse than last month, and I gained a bit back, but I am sure it will go back down as soon as this part is over.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
