Weight Loss Stalls and Menstrual Cycles.
Hi there! This question is for the ladies.
Do any of you experience weight loss stalls maybe a week to a week and a half before your menstrual cycle, then gain weight during it, and start losing again after your menstrual cycle stops?
Have you noticed any type of pattern with your weight loss/stall and your period?
I went through the menopause before WLS, so I can't speak to the timing of stalls and menstruation. But I do occasionally ge****er weight gain for other reasons (e.g., eating a salty meal). I have an electronic scale that shows body fat percentage in addition to weight, and I find that feature very helpful and reassuring. If my weight is up a pound, but I'm pretty sure it's water weight, I'll see that the body fat % has gone down, and feel reassured. By the next day, my weight is usually down again.
However, the body fat % didn't show much change from day-to-day, and hence wasn't that useful, until I got down below about 100 kg (220 lbs).
