Anyone notice they're eating more throughout the day before/during their period? I feel like in eating too much but I know it's just because I eat so little now. I don't want to sound neurotic but I'm due for my period next week and I already see the bloating/cravings starting.

Anyone else have this increased appetite? It's a whole new experience trying to combat this with being sleeved.

I had an ablation so I don't actually bleed but I still go through the hormonal waves/bloating/cravings. Unfortunately, I never know that's what's going on until the time passes. I can start to tell when I'm eyeing cookies at the grocery store or thinking about how to add sweets in. Grease/sweets use to be my go-to PMS food. It's not quite as bad now but the sweet tooth is starting to rear it's ugly head again.

My doc says i can't have ibuprofen anymore so what to do for cramps?

Tylenol was recommended by my doc for general aches and pains. No more ibuprofen, it can make your stomach bleed.

For menstual cramps I drink red raspberry leaf tea and I only need one cup and the cramps are gone for the remainder of my period. I noticed more craving before my period and around ovulation. I do eat more sweets around that time but as soon as my period starts my cravings and hunger go away. It evens out in the end.
