I Think My Tummy Has A Cycle...not Even Kidding



Recommended Posts

So over the last couple of months I have noticed that I have 1 week each month that I could LITERALLY eat everything in sight...and then then next few weeks everytime I eat I either get queesy or super full, super fast..like doing good to get in a cheese stick full...

anyone else had this happen?

I wish I had days like that now at 9 months out. in the beginning, there were days like that. I have head hunger now and it really bothers me. I get a hamburger and I want to eat it all. But I can't, thank you sleeve. My emotions get the best of me at times. :)

I have the same cycle. I am betting it has something to do with hormones though... It is the same week (about 1/2 to my TOM) and the same week that I bloat... This week is the week. I am never hungry but my mind wants me to eat and I can eat much more that week. I am almost 5 months out...

Same exact thing with me. I know my stomach size doesn't change but my appetite sure does.

Yay! So glad that I am not the only one! I notice that the week before is when I get that "cookie monster" urge for everything in sight. Then the next three weeks I can barely eat..and that is when I drop my weight...I need to learn to control it...I downed my calorie goal on mfp...and I am being more diligent about logging everything...see if that changes everything.

I feel the week leading up to my period I want to eat a lot more and can actually do it. I tend to graze more and go for carbs. Not good... It's a struggle.

Kmbr.... Me too! I must be nearing the end of this cycle because the craving for the carbs is alot less! Ugh. I had a hysterectomy years ago so I didn't put two and two together but it is crazy! I don't like it!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
