Ok, this one came as a complete shock to me. I am one and a half months out of surgery, and I must share this with women who are suffering like me.

There are not too many, but I suffer from a bizarre array of Pre-Menstral Symptoms. I don't just get the bloating, and poopy face (mood swings lol) I get nausea, vomiting, extreme fatigue, headaches, and serious cotton mouth. It lasts for a bout 3 days each month for me. It seems worse now witht hte sleeve, I can't just drink a bunch of Water, take my stomach med and go sleep for 3 days.

I was feeling particularly gross yesterday. But I had to get my protien in. Well, after I drank my protien shake (I double up on the scoop) I felt totally fine!! No nausea, no cotton mouth, headache went away poof!! It lasted for 8 hours throught he day, then it started to come back, i drank another shake, and gone again!!

Maybe it's just me, but if you have bad PMS symptoms like I do, try a protien shake. See what happens. It's a god send for me, I hate taking medication, and maybe after 7 years I can finally stop taking them!!

Just thought I would pass that along, hope it helps at least one person.

Cheers to all, and good luck on your journey!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
