PMS???

I had my surgery in July 2005 just like everyone on here, and I feel like the week before I get my period I could EAT A HOUSE...and I pretty much do!!!!!! There is absolutely no restriction in what I eat for about 3 days out of the month. My portions are still small in what I eat, but I am hungry about every half hour. And not for protein or anything that's good...pizza with lots of hot pepper or chocolates...mmm...Does this happen to anyone else, or is it just me? I work out extra hard during these days and haven't gained any weight, but all the stories about pouch stretching and stuff scares me...HELP!! Sincerely, Diane 231/160/128

Hi Diane, No worries, I think you are completely normal. I get *super* snacky when it's close to my period. Like you, the portions are still small but I want to eat *all* the time. Once I realize what's causing it, I have a little bit more control, but damn it's hard! Good luck! I don't think you are stretching your pouch. Especially if you go back to what's normal for you afterwards. Of course, don't take my word for it, call your surgeon's office. They should be able to help you. Have a great evening!

Diane I know what your talking about? The very same thing happens to me, I haven't gained wieght. but? I haven't lost either. For almost a month I haven't gone to the gym.And I haven't been drinking enough water like I should.But? I am going to the gym tonite I starting my salsa classes again. they start at 5:30 I will be leaving at 4:30 to get some exersizes done before class. 95 lbs lost have a great evening.

Always did and always has-- The only thing I do now is keep drinking water, and if I MUST have, I go for a sugar free piece of chocolate. Just a female thing I guess.
