Holy COW, people. I feel like I'm about to climb the walls. My cycle has always been really irregular, and every GYN that I've seen has done tests and has said that this is my "normal". I had surgery on 7/1/13 and this is the 3rd time that I've had my period since surgery.... BUT this is the first time that I've turned into the Eating Monster during TOM.

I am fantasizing about a baked potato, y'all.

Here's my question to you, lovely ladies: I read on here once, and now of course can't remember precisely what I read, something about upping fats during TOM to diminish cravings. Has anyone had good results with this? My periods are usually prolonged (a couple of weeks is typical for me), so I know that this isn't a "grit my teeth and survive the week" situation :(

Hmmm... One of those had a reply that mentioned EVOO, avocado, etc. I may try to add some of those. Thanks for taking the time to look them up.
