759.0. "PMS and weight gain (again)" by SOLVIT::HUBBARD () Wed Aug 05 1992 23:43

    Way back at the beginning of this conference, there was a discussion on
    PMS and weight gain.  Did anyone find a medical type person who could
    answer the "question" from the beginning of time.
    
    I know that as old as I am, as often as I've dieted, as long as I've
    been menstruating,
    
    I still gain at least 5 - 7 lbs a week or two before my menstrual cycle
    and the silly thing is I don't change anything?

759.1pill prob.SWAM2::MASSEY_VIThu Aug 06 1992 04:4912
    I am new to this conference and have been scanning the topics for one
    like this.  This may not be the same thing but it is along the same
    lines.
    I have just changed the brand of BC pills and have put on 10lbs in the
    last 2 months.  My eating habits haven't changed, and I have actually
    been more active.  My Dr. says I will level out in a few months but I
    feel I am putting on more weight, my pants are getting uncomfortable!! 
    If some one knows the answer to this one also, it would be appreciated.

    thanks

759.2Drink lots of waterADNERB::MAHONMon Aug 10 1992 22:404
    I find I gain an average of 4-5 pounds that same time of the month.
    When I am drinking alot of water it seems to be only a couple pounds.
    
    That might help.

    It's perfectly natural to take fluid on board in the few days preceding
    menstruation. Just take this into consideration before you panic.
