Does any other female have this problem



Recommended Posts

Hi Folks... It’s been a while since I've posted I used to be known as jamd... Anyway, I was banded on 4/30/08 and I’ve lost a total of 60lbs so far (YIPPEE) but I have this problem and I was wondering if any other female had this issue. Every month when it gets closer to that TOM I get so tight that I’m lucky to even eat half a yogurt at Breakfast and ½ cup of Soup at lunch after that I’m not hungry and I really have to remind myself to eat. I feel so tight but I know why, so does anyone else have this problem and do you have any tips or tricks that you can share?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

I've noticed this too, and a lot of people say the same thing. I don't have any advice, just get in as much Protein as you can.

Something to look forward to I guess when ever she shows her ugly face it's been 3 months I always thought it would show when I lost weight vs being over weight...

This is really common. I see multiple threads about it and this is exactly what happens to me.

Because of this I seem to lose the most weight around TOM :laugh:

As long as you're getting your liquids in and keeping your Protein up during this time you should be fine :ohmy:

I have had it too. I just supplement a Protein Drink or two and know that I will be on a more liquid to mushy diet during this time. I also drink something hot before eating. You kind of get used to this after a while.

That happens to me also! Because my period comes every month - but anytime that it choses to, that's when I know it's coming. I too lose weight around that time- but the craving for the sweets are unbearable! So, in the beginning I'll lose three lbs and by the time my period is over I would have gained back 1.5. Oh well.

I have been banded now for 4 months and for the first time this month I experienced this. I had a difficult time eating green Beans chewed up. I want to say it was 1 -2 days before I actually came on that I was so tight I could hardly eat. I had problems with so many foods that day. It passed as soon as I came on though. I had read about this before being banded and after banding I was quite concerned about it. It never happened and I guess I took it for granted. It's crazy how that happens.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
