RE: for women only..sorry guys!!!

[Guest guest]

I no longer have the monthly. When I did, the moodiness seemed to last a

shorter time. Eating right always improved my symptoms. The bloating was

always bad. People actually thought I was pregnant after WLS. Tell a woman

who is having PMS that she looks pregnant! Better run for the hills...lol!

Anyway, WLS surgery or not, try to eat really well the two weeks before your

monthly. I think after WLS, the good foods are essential! You know our

bodies crave everything that makes PMS symptoms worse during that time.

Avoid starchy carbs, caffeine and sugars...chocolate and soda are the worst.

Another thing I've been reading a lot about is vitamins for PMS symptoms. My

13 yr old daughter suffers extremely difficult moodiness during this time of

the month. Making sure you get enough calcium w/D, magnesium and B vitamins

may help you out.

Dang, I've never been able to wipe the grin off my face for all these years.

===============================================

Many years ago when I was scheduled for a hystie, the people who had it done

told me of the Joys, while the people who were still " whole women, " warned me

of the regrets. My worst time as a woman was PMS. I don't miss it at all.

However, I thought that this was now treatable and that a visit to the GYN

would solve the problem.

Same for me!! My hystie was a year ago and I sure haven't missed the awful

cramps & bloating and then the horrible bleeding for a week out of every two

to three weeks! I was definitely done having kids, so I didn't see any

reason to keep that thing in there.

Oh, I am soooo in tune with this. Been doing the happy happy joy joy dance

every since mine in 1998!!! Would have had it earlier, but had to convince

the Navy that is was a medical necessity. I guess wanting to KILL someone

every month didn't qualify!

My periods are definately more intense, more painful, the PMS is worse and

they are very heavy and last longer. I've always gotten tired while PMSing,

now I get totally exhausted and can barely function at times. My bloating

is worse, when my period is coming, my work uniform pants barely fit me, but

I don't want to ask for a larger size just for PMSing, I doubt my boss would

give me one anyway---and then there would be all the talking (oh no!

needs a bigger pair of pants, she must be gaining weight and her surgery is

failing!!!) I've never looked forward to having my period, now I dread it

coming!!
