Hey Does Anyone Notice That They Are Able To Eat More When Your Menstrual Comes?



Recommended Posts

Hey.I just got my first menstrual since being banded yesterday and I kinda pigged out for the first time since the band. Not too bad but definitely more than I have since being banded. I am only 3 weeks out. But I made sure I walked 2 miles that evening. Is it the menstrual or do I just need my first fill soon? I notice I dont have much restriction anymore compared to my first 2 weeks or so. I can't go to the gym yet per doctors orders but I have been walking everyday at least 2 miles or more. 45 minutes or so. Help..Any advice?

I have the opposite issue. During ovulation and my period I'm very, very tight. It's not uncommon from what I hear to feel a little difference around that time.

Most of the time I become a ravenous monster, but during a few cycles I've become tight instead. Not sure what causes the difference, but man is it annoying sometimes!

If you haven't had a fill yet then your are probally able to eat a lot anyway. During my TOM I crave more sweets and they go down eaiser ;) (bad habbit I know). So if your like me you are probally eating slider foods....BTW a fill wont help with slider foods, they will still slide even after your start getting fills so try toget a handle on the period snacking early. I limit myslef to 2 "small" treats a day.

During PMS I am tighter. Once I start however I am ravenous. I make sure to measure the Protein and eat raw veggies until full.

I'm set to be banded this week and I've been spotting and cramping. I'm on the semi-liquid pre-op diet I noticed 2 days ago I'm ravenous which is hard on this strict diet I'm bloated so I've gained weight since I started the pre-op diet I'm frustrated, but sticking with it.

      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.

        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!
