Hi, I had surgery a month ago. I have had an IUD for 7 years as well (#2). Before surgery I would get a very light period every 4 months or so. I just got a full on period 2 days ago and it's the heaviest I've ever had since my 20's. It scared me but as I am reading on this site it seems to be normal. I hope I go back to not getting a period because um, isn't that the point of an IUD? It is to me at least. The cramps are pretty horrible too and I can't take Advil. This thread has put my mind at ease. Thanks everyone.

I'm in Evanston. I had my surgery April 29th.

my surgery is 4/29. Pre-op diet is 4 Protein shakes and raw veggies only. I am mostly worried that the sweet Protein drinks will get old real fast but was happy to know I could at least crunch on something. Good luck to all!

@sparklempink Congrats! Good luck and quick recovery.

@@Casey235 I hope the shakes go away! Maybe it's just your body adjusting. Thanks for the heads up though. Feel better and good luck!

I am scheduled for 4/29 surgery. I haven't started my pre-op diet yet. that starts on the 15th. i can have the Protein drinks and raw veggies only. I have a feeling I will want the crunchy veggies to chew something. Did anyone use anything other than the sweet Protein Drinks? Did you get sick of the all that sweetness? I will be trying the unjury chocolate with almond milk. thanks!
