So like the week before my period, i feel like i gained 20 lbs no joke - then the day that I get my period (like immediately) i feel normal again.
is this normal? does this happen to anyone else? its crazy, i get to the point where i want to shred my clothes, starve myself - practically breakdown and then POOF ... i feel *normal* again on day 1 of my period. Its nuts...
I understand bloating but this is crazy... sorry if this is TMI - just curious if im alone and if anyone has any remedies?

Re: ok, maybe TMI
do you eat a lot of salty foods? That can cause bloating

the week that i get my period, i FEEL the skinniest, its the week before. PMS i guess... just so annoying.

i think its PMS - i have a headache for almost the whole week before my period and i also feel the most bloated during that time as well even if im not really eating more than usual....sometimes i do binge that week though

i'm always about 3-5 lbs heavier the week before my pd, then either day one or day 2 i'm back to my normal weight. sounds normal to me.

cut down on your already low sodium intake - drink plenty of water and take a water pill.
