Okay ladies, I'm just over 5 weeks post op gastric sleeve, including my pre op diet I've lost 20kgs or 44lbs. However I've noticed that every time I get my period my weight loss stalls for the whole 6 days. I'm not super worried about it but just wanted to see if this happens to anyone else??

Lol, yeah I think we should include those. Maybe beer/alcohol, sex, food, sport, video games, TV lol

Done! We have just finished the "understanding men" manual.... lol

Imagine the ensuing uproar if a few guys had posted such sexist generalisations about women...

@@KindaFamiliar

Awww ... its not a generalisation if its true

Do you deny that you enjoy food, sport, sex, beer and tv?

You are an aussie! We live for this stuff!

As it happens, I'd happily and successfully survive without all of them...

I do not enjoy food...

I do not enjoy beer...

TV serves a purpose...

Sport is similar...

Sex is great...

But it's not what I live for...

As there also appears to be a particular order that these should go in, I apologise if I've not got them listed correctly...

So with all that in mind - Yes, the statements made in the preceding posts are certainly sexist generalisations...

Ok ok.... i apologize, can it be changed to many men that i know? ????

I respect that you could survive without all of them... i certainly couldn't lol

If it was done in fun, like we did it, that wouldn't bother me at all.

Having said all that -

Who the f*ck would wanna go without sport and/or sex???

I like food, sex, beer, sports, trashy novels.

And I gain three pounds two days before I start bleeding. I lose it the day after I start.

I haven't even been sleeved yet and always retain/gain 3-5 lbs beforehand, am starving the week before, and then quickly lose it by day 2 of my cycle.

I wasn't aware of the pattern until I did WW a decade ago and had weekly weigh-ins. After six months I noticed the trend of gain/loss, and ever since I paid attention and have seen it's consistent.

Diuretics and guzzling Water don't help me, either, but having ANY excessive sodium bumps up the scale even further! Ugh.

I believe bc of my weight I don't get my periods have not had one since April and that was on the 10 day pills to make me have one. I am sure after I lose weight it will come back and I'm sure that day will look like a shark took a bite out of me haha... But Im sure it's normal bc the fact our body is going through changes

That happens to women who haven't had surgery. They might even gain, due to Water retention. It's very common. Try to not let it stress you.

I've been stuck at the same weight for 7 days due to these reasons. I'm expecting a whoosh soon.

I stall the week before my period...but once it starts, I usually see a drop

I suppose stall is the wrong word, cause the moment my period stops the scales move again. I'm not super stressed about it just wanted to check if this happen to other ladies.

I had 3-4 months where I had my period every 2 weeks. It was driving me crazy because it was stalling my weight loss, but I had to learn to just accept that my body is going through massive changes and trying to adjust. i eat right every day, so there is no way I am not going to lose weight.
