The last couple of months I've noticed that I've been tighter at my TOM. I've spoken to some people that this affects and some it doesn't. I'm just curious...

I am super tight during that TOM. I always lose at least 2 -3 pounds that week.

I don't notice a difference during TOM. I wish I did though, I'd love to lose a couple of pounds during TOM. Unfortunately, I usually gain because my craving are OFF THE CHART during TOM! Ughhh

I am not tighter at all, but I am definitely a couple of pounds heavier, crankier, and more prone to cravings for things like chocolate.

Heather - Cranky doesn't even begin to describe me. Linda Blair comes to mind...oh I'm awful! The only time I want chocolate is that time of month though. I seem to gain the Water weight, but I'm so tight I can't eat hardly...it's so unfair. Chocolate does go down quite well though.

Ok, i'm having problems right now. I started on sat. and my stomach hurts so bad. I have really bad gas. i feel like someone inflated my stomach with gas and they are squeezing my stomach! I have only had 1 feel so i'm not really sure what feeling tight is like so do you think that might be my problem?

To all of you that responded to the poll, did you notice if you got tighter during your TOM even before your first fill? I am 3 days post op, but noticed today (at the start of TOM:angry_smile:) that although my liquids are going down, they aren't going down as easy. Just curious to know the answer to that.

It was after I had some restriction that I noticed.

But my fills came right about my TOM lol

      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. 🤞
