PMS and the Band

By AshlyLin

· 356 views

This is the first PMS I have had with the band. I am hoping my PMS is why I feel soooooooo grumpy, annoyed, and overall blah. I know it is. I am someone who usually feels like I want to punch something when I am PMSing. Usually, I calm my ugly mood with food. I am craving chocolate and NOT my chocolate protein shake. I know this too shall pass. I need to remember why I had this surgery.

I gained a 1.5 pounds yesterday. I am sure I am retaining water. I was down 19.5 but now 18. I am truly someone who suffers more mental,emotional symptoms from PMS than physical. Maybe I can let a Hershey Kiss disolve in my mouth. I will have to give the back to someone and have them lock it up after I get 1!

    Chocolate is like chips...sometimes you cant just eat one. On the other hand it might just satisfy you to have the ONE kiss! Much like many of us we had to have the bag before. Sometimes when you say "I cant" have it we go overboard. No man overboard's....this PMS will pass.

    My first month after the band was hell! OMG! My mood swings would have given you whiplash and then I would have knocked you head clean off. I pure mean and nothing less. I am hoping this month won't be that bad. I was in so much pain that I even tried the pain meds I got from surgery and they didn't make a dent in the pain.
