gosh am i the only one who gains weight during their TOM

i have been know to gain up to 10 pounds and there is not a blasted thing i can do....def distressing to me

and certainly puts a damper on a wonderful long weekend

and fyi, my eating was fantastic this weekend and i did not divert off my eating path so if anyone reading this ponders it was because

i overate somewhere, that is not the case.

again, just venting and bitching as it sucks to have a period and be bloated........

I'm sorry Princess you're feeling that way. I'd like to give you a big bear hug and squeeze it out of you. (((((PPB)))))

You are definitely not the only one, in fact, it is perfectly normal. Just keep on doing what you have been doing and keep your eye on the big picture. You'll be right!

gimme hot flashes over bloating, stray pimples and the grumpiness..............

Right there with you! I generally gain 2-5 lbs. during that time...no worry, it comes off again. I have been weighing myself daily for over two years since my band was placed, so it doesn't surprise me any more.

..........am glad to know i am not alone n this......

OHHHH NO, you are deff not the only one, I gain anywhere between 5-8 lbs. blah blah blah!

I also gain somewhere between 5-10 pounds. It stinks!!!!

Just coming off of mine and at the beginning gained 5 lbs!!! UGH!!

what sucks is that each of my monthly follow ups are scheduled right at the TOM
