That being said it's obvious that I'm still learning how to get familiar with this awesome little bariatric world! Most people (family and friends) I socialize with out here in the real world don't really understand this whole bariatric lifestyle! So I'm excited to be part of a virtual community who totally gets ME and YOU and You Too Girl! We are totally all in this together...

I felt like the topic I wanted to bring up was a personal one and needed to be discussed by us women! So, here I am officially 7th months post gastric sleeve and have noticed for the past 4 months that a couple weeks before and during my period I get super hungry and quite often through the day i find it easier to eat on a regular schedule and snack between meals with no reminders. During this time I feel that I can consume more without getting as full as I usually do.I don't feel like this is a mental thing It's a real feeling...a body feeling thing...I cannot possibly understand why my pouch is not as restrictive during this time of the month? It's very strange...Has anybody else experienced this? Please do share!

Hormones. I'm often more hungry and crave sweets before my cycle. Haven't been sleeved yet, so I don't know if that will make a difference or not. Are you still losing weight?

I get munchy a couple days before my period...and then go through a couple days of the opposite of that DURING my period cuz I feel ugh/bloated and don't want to eat...so I suppose it evens out...

But I've been like this even before I had WLS?

I’m super hungry before my cycle. I also can get very nauseous during it. I’m assuming it’s hormone related.

      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.
