I've been banded since late March. I thought I was just about in the green zone but PMS is in full force and it's like I didn't have the surgery! Open buffet! I'm sure I'll be back to 'normal' once the PMS is over but does anyone else experience this? Do I just grin and bare it knowing it's just an issue I'll deal with monthly?

I have this problem, too. When PMS comes it's like the band vanishes Yeah, unfortunately I've learned all I can do is try to distract myself through it. Drink Water, chew gum, take a walk... all the usual "tricks" we used during our pre-WLS days and just remember you'll be back to normal within a week! Oh, and stay away from the scale until you've started your period. I don't know about you but I gain a good 5 pounds when I have PMS. Very discouraging after seeing the scale on a downward trend all month long!
