That being said it's obvious that I'm still learning how to get familiar with this awesome little bariatric world! Most people (family and friends) I socialize with out here in the real world don't really understand this whole bariatric lifestyle! So I'm excited to be part of a virtual community who totally gets ME and YOU and You Too Girl! We are totally all in this together...

I felt like the topic I wanted to bring up was a personal one and needed to be discussed by us women! So, here I am officially 7th months post gastric sleeve and have noticed for the past 4 months that a couple weeks before and during my period I get super hungry and quite often through the day i find it easier to eat on a regular schedule and snack between meals with no reminders. During this time I feel that I can consume more without getting as full as I usually do.I don't feel like this is a mental thing It's a real feeling...a body feeling thing...I cannot possibly understand why my pouch is not as restrictive during this time of the month? It's very strange...Has anybody else experienced this? Please do share!

Hormones. I'm often more hungry and crave sweets before my cycle. Haven't been sleeved yet, so I don't know if that will make a difference or not. Are you still losing weight?

I get munchy a couple days before my period...and then go through a couple days of the opposite of that DURING my period cuz I feel ugh/bloated and don't want to eat...so I suppose it evens out...

But I've been like this even before I had WLS?

I’m super hungry before my cycle. I also can get very nauseous during it. I’m assuming it’s hormone related.
