Ladies, please advise how this time of month affects the lap band (if any)?

I can't really say that the band is better or worse during Pre Menstral. I do find that once I start nothing sounds appetizing (first day or so). After that I am fine. I am at restriction so if I am eating it's less than presurgery.

Going through this now. I want to eat everything...even if I'm not hungry. I haven't given in to it (thank God) but its there. As far as the restriction or pain, that really hasn't changed.

I have only been through it once so far, but I get so hungry but at the same time my stomach is bloated and I don't want to eat anything.

PMS is like that I have no band at all. It's very frustrating because I don't realize right away. I can justify eating anything at that time.

The other 22 days are just fine. Still learning how to deal with this.

Bad me have the same habbits just in smaller amounts... chocolate. I am usually bloated so I have lots of restriction but I will drink the hell out of some coco! Lol
