OMG PMS You ladies were right! Grrr....(guys you probably won't care)
I've had three periods post op, and I'm only 2 months out... do the math.
On one hand, I can say that they are extremely exhausting.
On the other hand, my body doesn't seem to retain water JUST based on period coming on. If I eat too much salt due to cravings, and end up bloating because of that, then sure... but I don't tend to experience the slight gain that some do during that time.
I track the heck outta my food on mfp, so I know if I deserve a gain. If a gain wasn't deserved, then I chalk it up to regular fluxing and move on. I don't log it unless I know I earned it.
