Menstrual cycle cravings



Recommended Posts

Dude...I'm about to start my cycle, and I majorly craving cookie dough!! Help!!! I'm at 3 months and have lost 42 pounds, 60 pre-op, and I feel like I'm falling into old habits again. What can I do?! PS, here's my 2 month before and after! :-D

Syntrax has a couple cookie flavors that might help with your craving. They have double-stuffed cookie (tastes Oreo-ish), mint cookie (tastes like a thin mint), Peanut Butter cookie...I'm not sure how many different ones they had (those were the ones I got in my mixed sample. They might help your craving.

(just finished my visit from Aunt Flow...luckily I'm only 17 days out, so really, couldn't eat even if I did crave. I usually crave chocolate, and I got chocolate Calcium chewables to help alleviate any cravings in that direction.)

Good luck!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
