Just wanted to say that having a period with a lap band makes your stomach feel like a giant Water balloon with a tennis ball inside.

That is all!

Absolutely....and I hate the chocolate craving...sugar free pudding just doesn't cut it...LOL

oh my gosh.. im on mine right now and ive been craving everything!!! AHHH!!

I have noticed that this month it feels like that... I can feel my uterus this month it's painful never had this happen before weird.

Plus I gained like 7 lbs this past week they say it's Water weight I sure hope it goes away soon and I get back on track...

Here's my trick for chocolate cravings. I keep a bag of Hershey kisses in the freezer. The rule is I can have only one and I have to suck it...no chewing allowed. It takes a long time to suck one til its gone when its frozen and its only 25 calories. It cures my craving every time.

Love that frozen hershey kiss idea...totally gonna try that

Great tip, Cindy C! Thanks!

I get chocolate cravings too. I just watched a great video about them and how to control them. I hope you find it useful. http://www.lifeshapeup.com/chocolate

I was recently banded but the first time mine came it was 6 days early and was brighter in color than I ever saw in my life and heavy.

I do agree....and it sucks! I lost 3 lbs last week and now that my cycle is coming I'm so bloated.....

I am scheduled to have my surgery on May 24. My period should come on or around that day. Not looking forward to it. "It" always knows when to strike. I love the hershey kiss idea!!!!

I usually cant tell that I am on my period other than the obvious... no cramping, or anything like that.... but since I have had LB I know its here! I was at Zumba on Tuesday and I thought I was going to fall over from the pain from the cramps! I had to stop and go sit down! It hurt so bad that when I got home I took 2 of my pain pills I had left from surgery! It sucks!!!

So far I've been ok with have my period and my band. I just got my first fill yesterday though we'll see how it goes this month.
