weird question for women...



Recommended Posts

Does anyone get REALLY hungry when it's time for mother nature every month? I do, which I've gotten used to. BUT! I just got another fill 10 days ago (I'm now at 7 cc in a 10 cc band), and I stay hungry!! What is up with that??

Don't mistake being hungry for a craving. Sometimes I get a craving around my t.o.m. and just need a taste of something sweet or salty and am not truly hungry. This is a true learning experience for us all!!

I'm 10 days post-op and was doing great! My t.o.m has joined me and I could not stop snacking on sweets today!! Ugh.... In the long run I think 1-2 days a month is gonna kill me since I'm generally a compliant person. But, dang it was a serious craving day today... Damn hormones lol.

Well I'm sorry that you all are suffering too during this lovely time of the month, but I'm glad I'm not alone :). This truly sucks! It seems like it gets worse every month. I'm looking for the "green zone" with every fill, so being so hungry after this last one has had me concerned....

I tell ya I was done having kids being in my late forties but I had a uterine ablation to stop my periods. Best thing I ever did and it was outpatient with no after effects at all

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
