I had my sleeve surgery on April 13th and was due for my period April 18th, and it never came. May 10th I had a normal period that lasted 5 days. June 8th, I started spotting, it showed up on my underwear every now and then, but relatively light. Every time I wipe however, there is a clot. I'm on birth control, I take it religiously. I called my doctor and they were very unhelpful and just blamed it on my weight loss, but offered no solutions or even an appointment to be seen. I asked to go in to switch birth control so that I could get some answers, but that isn't until Wednesday and I may lose my mind by then. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Or tips to stop it? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Does anyone recommend a birth control after surgery? I'm currently on the pill but I'm not sure how it will work after surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am - but I read the guidelines wrong and thought I wasn't. I also had severe lack of caffeine headaches. I've taken the extra time to ween myself off coffee I've also stuck with the shakes for breakfast to make it easier Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I tried to do the liquid diet once because my surgery date was originally in March. I wasn't off birth control in time so they postponed my surgery. I did 2 days before I found out my surgery date changed. I was so sick the two days that I'm petrified to do it again Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I start my liquid diet a week from today and I'm nervous too! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I was originally scheduled for a March 28 surgery date. I'm super disappointed but my date had to be postponed due to my doctor wanting me off of birth control for a month prior to surgery. Monday would have been the beginning of my preop diet and I started it and did amazing the first day. Stuck to the diet(stricter than I even needed to be) and the next day the same thing until the afternoon when I found out my surgery date was changed. The first thing I did after I found out was go to Wendy's. Then that night I went to Walmart and got a bunch of bad foods. It's like I'm misbehaving simply because I know I can. I'm trying not to do this but my willpower isn't really working well. Anyway, what should I be doing at this point to prepare for surgery. I'm still doing a shake for Breakfast cause that was easy to start doing, but I'm drinking coffee like I shouldn't be and eating a bad lunch. dinner I'm still doing pretty good with but I'm afraid it's a slippery slop. I know this is a giant ramble but some advice would be great. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you all so much for the support. It hasn't been easy, I'm trying to slowly adjust myself that way I don't react like I did the first time I was doing the preop diet. I think the food funerals term is exactly what I'm going through. I want to be able to eat the things I enjoy while I can. At the same time, I want to be healthy. I want to give myself a chance at succeeding in this. With that said, I'm still making bad decisions. My professor took us out to dinner last night and with his encouragement I ate poorly. My preop diet is scheduled to start March 31. In the mean time I'm slowly weening myself off coffee, switching to shakes for breakfast and lunch (I've accomplished breakfast already.) I'm just trying to do it slowly because the last time my body freaked out and I ended up really sick with a migraine. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello! I'm 25 years old, from Rhode Island and am getting sleeved on 3/28! I start my preop diet tomorrow. I'm a full time student and I have already missed a decent amount of school this semester cause I was in a car accident, how much school did you miss? How long before you were able to drive again? I'm pretty horrible about liking the taste of Protein shakes, do you have any tips to either make them taste better or a specific brand that tastes better? What's the best way to get yourself in an exercise routine? I'm really busy and I'm afraid I won't be able to find the time. I'm sure I have a million others but that's the only ones I can think of.

I'm 4/13 - my birthday! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm now an April sleever. I was supposed to be March 28, but it had to get pushed back because I didn't know my doctor wanted me to go off birth control a month before surgery. So my new date is now 4/13. It's my birthday, which I think is pretty awesome Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
