I have always been hungrier the week before and the week of my period. That being said, I thought the band would help with this, especially as I've read that a lot of people feel that their bands getter tighter during this time. Does anyone else still feel like they could eat a cow? This is very concerning for me....

yep, that would be me..i still use my mind and stay with the program

mother nature is rough sometimes

Yepper, I am starving during that time. Thank goodness for skinny cow products- the icecream bars and the cheese satisfy my need for sweet without killing my diet. I also had a lot of water weight gain during that time.

I am having the same problem its like I constantly snack between meals because I never fill full when its that time of the month...

Have only had one period since my fill but from that experience, I agree that skinny cow products are great. I like their ice cream sandwiches. I did munch a little more during that time and my weight reflected it. Overall a half pound or pound gain but for me personally that is not a huge set back for a whole week. I have about 80 to lose so that was a small setback in comparison.

I try and eat protein bars, fruit and if I want something sweet I typically eat fruit mentos.... Ikr don't judge me, but I am 56 pounds down and 70 more pounds to go. I was banded 3.26.12...

Thanks guys! It's nice to know that I'm not alone on this . I haven't blown it by no means, but have went over my allotted calorie intake the past few days. I'll have to remember the skinny cow ice cream. It sure sounds yummy!

Hormones glorious hormones. This is one of those, everyone is different, issues. However, I also have increased appetite with my period. Only for a couple of days so I don't have to struggle that long. But I find increased Water and walking helps me stay out of the kitchen and gets me through the munchie madness.

I am always very hungry the week before my period...the band has done nothing to help. I do eat a lot more during that week but it has no long term negative effects on my weight loss

I'm hungry around then too but since my last fill, I'm really tight around that time and can only consume liquids and slider foods. Is that normal? I left a message for docs office cause its been a few days since i could eat solid healthy foods without getting stuck or having pain in my chest.
