Feeling fat & VERY Bloated

I hate the week leading into star week as I feel so bloated too. I can totally sympathise.

I find during that week that by avoiding bread and drinking more water I do feel less uncomfortable, may be worth a try.

Hope you feel more yourself soon

Awww, I sympathise with ya. Im lucky becuase I have the depo injection now so I dont have *weeks anymore but I used to get them really bad and feel yucky and bloated for about a week before!!

Have a nice hot bath, put your PJ's on and veg out in front of the TV with a hot water bottle! xx
 
Miss Galaxy I would put Pjs on but an working till 3.30 :(

I have had loads of investigations but they can't find anything. I get terrible stomach craps for about a week before (like a phantom period) & then I get the period so basically I get only get 2 weeks a month off.

I went to the doc & he said " well we are seeing a lot of problems in women your age (i'm nearly 34) that have chosen to delay to childbirth" :mad:
 
Thats shocking! Your GP should not say that to you Hun!!
I would ask for a referral to see if there is anything that can be done for you.
 
Feel for you very much hun, don't know if you're on now or on next week - people use 'star week' to mean two different things...

Where did "Star Week" come from anyway? Is it like "Im on my *******" ?

Is it to mask something? Surely "I am due on" or "I am on" would give the same idea without having to say the word period if people find that embarrassing?
 
I believe star week orginated from when they wrote in your book yuor weight and if you were on your period that week they would but a little star next to it to indicate thew rag week :)

I have been refered & had a ultersound & it was clear. Need to go back to the docs but don't want to be told I am old again. Last time I was there he gave me really strong pain killers but I just spend the time I take them in a sleepy state
 
Ahhh so I'm not the only one that gets the invisible period?!

Feel for you very much hun, don't know if you're on now or on next week - people use 'star week' to mean two different things... To reduce bloatiness, I'd say cut out bread :) It helps! Also, don't look in the mirror, lol, because your eyes will be exaggerating the truth.

Take care

Yay I'm not alone. It should be star fornight for me!! I try to avoid bread anyway & am sort of doing sin free comfort food like mash pots & rice pud. It's WI in today. I lost 5lb & got slimmer of the month last week but not expecting great things this week :(

Potatoes and rice are quite starchy, wouldn't that bloat you too? Happens with me if I eat too much, also my dad finds they bloat him and make him burp like crazy. Good luck for WI though! Let us know how you get on so I have hope for Thursday! xxx
