hazeleyegrl1 0 Posted January 17, 2008 ok, this is a question for all you ladies still cursed with your monthly period. i weighed at the dr. this morning and also had my 4th fill....BUT, today was also the 1st day of my cycle and well, i'm kinda hoping that maybe i weigh slightly less bc of me being on my period. so the question is this... HOW MUCH EXTRA WEIGHT DO YOU THINK YOU CARRY DURING YOUR MONTHLY MENSTRAUL CYCLE? iS IT POSSIBLE THAT I WEIGHT A FEW POUNDS LESS IF I TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT ITS MY TIME OF THE MONTH???

Suzzzie. 3 Posted January 17, 2008 Absolutely. Water weight. Bloating. Ugh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maziemommy 8 Posted January 17, 2008 I weigh more right after it starts, until it's over. And I never get a fill on TOM.. because of internal swelling.. it causes my band to loosen up too much after TOM is over, even if they adjust it well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuzanneG 1 Posted January 17, 2008 I think the norm is about 3 pounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheetsin 714 Posted January 17, 2008 I gain between 6 & 15 lbs. It tends to come on about 4 days before I start, and go away about 3 days after I end. If I PB, I can pretty much guarantee it's within the 4 days preceding the start of my period. I get super duper tight then, which makes sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ch4251 0 Posted January 17, 2008 wheres the adult content? I thought this thread was going to be alot more exciting ....:wink2: btw...Good luck, and it makes perfect sense you would have some bloating and things at this tme of the month....fortunately i had a hyst 2 years ago....until the lapband it was the best thing to ever happen, hopefully the lapband will be my new "best thing" :pray2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfran 0 Posted January 18, 2008 The week before and the week of I usually "gain" 2-5lbs and lose nothing during these weeks at all. Then at the end of my cycle I drop the weight plus some (usually). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
