Time of the month



Recommended Posts

Ok i am seeing a pattern when my time is going.. I feel I can barely get anything down.. If i do not much stays there..Am I alone. My family is all worried about my eating and getting sick. But I truly can keep very little time down this time of the month. So today I will just drink so I am not misrable.. I am drinking a Protein Shake right now. but amazing enough if I dont drink it slowly I am sure this also would be a problem. Only a few days a month. Crazy stuff.. I am not eating any differntly right now than any other time. I spoke with my doc. he said just to eat very slowly. but at these times food really is not ok for me. Just want to know if anyone else has these days

That actually happens for me too! I'm glad I'm alone! I just got my band in March and my first period since then was like last week and I could barely eat or drink anything. It helped a lot to drink warm tea and as much Water as possible. It only lasted for like 2 days for me though, so if yours is lasting longer, I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help :thumbdown:

I have this problem every month. I just went to my doctor this week to address the situation. She was very hesitant to remove any of my fill since I have been doing so well, but I finally convinced her to at least remove .1 cc because it is becoming unbearable for a few days each month. I'm not sure that .1 cc will do anything because my restriction feels the same right now, but I should know in about a week.

      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.
