Question:
Do you tend to eat more during

I am 3 1/2 months post-op, down 70 lbs and am having no problems at all. It just seems like I always eat more those few days of the month..Any ideas to help me not do this would be wonderful..    — Sharon1964 (posted on December 5, 2002)

Sharon, all I can say is try to load up on protein those days and plenty of water. I would try to cut down on carbs a little. They always give me a ravenous appetite for more carbs. I'm just learning that but they are so addictive to me! As I understand it the more protein you eat the less you crave because it keeps you fuller longer. Hope this helps.

Same here... the day before and the 1st day of my period I find myself actually HUNGRY!! Im 5 months post op and really dont feel hunger at all. I have to remind myself to eat. I havent gotten hungry for carbs though - I get hungry for steak!
