Tighter that time of the month?



Recommended Posts

For the last 2 days I was hardly able to keep anything down, I PBed on shrimp and had a really rough night. Yesterday I PBed on my way to work after I ate a teeny bit of tail mix-had to pull over my car. I couldn't really eat much the rest of the day. I thought I might have had a slipped band. I was googling it and getting info.

Well today I get my period. I was able to eat again with no PBing.

Does anyone else have a fickle band that time of the month? I :huh:

mine is super tight two days before my period, so just drink liquids for those days and it seems to help with the tightness and bloating.

Mine is the same way. A couple of days before I get super tight. I just do soft foods for a couple of days! :D

I go through it every month! You just get used to it and it is a good warning you are about to start!

Oh yeah, I feel ya! When I'm PMSing I can eat like a bear, it's crazy almost like I have no band. BUT, when Aunt Flo comes the first two days I am shut down TIGHT! Nothing more solid than cottage cheese is getting through. Luckily it's only 2 days and I'm back to normal. You'll get used to it.

Thanks for all your replies! I feel better that I am not alone! Next month I will now know the reason I am tight-I actually thought my band slipped, but right afterwards I was able to eat without any problems at all! Thanks again :)

Glad I saw this post..I got a fill on Monday and I feel really tight..I was able to get some soft things down but then my cycle started and now I can't get anything but liquids down. I paged my doc and he hasn't gotten back to me and its the weekend. I'm praying that the reason I'm so tight is cuz of my cycle..I've been banded 5 months and never has it been this tight.

We sound like were going throught the same thing. I am also at 5 months and just got a fill on Wednesday. The first 24 hours after the fill I was on liquids, next 24 soft foods, the next day I was fine. I started my period last night and today I can't even get down liquids. This is NOT fun! :(

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
