question for us older ladies



Recommended Posts

Has anyone experienced vaginal bleeding while on a pre op diet? I haven't had a period in years, and it's just spotting, but it's every day. I don't know if it's the lack of food, liquids only, or the supplements.< /p>

My surgery is May 27th so I'm on the pre op till then. I wonder if I should ask the doctor? Any suggestions?

NO !!!! and I haven`t read or heard about it anywhere on the forums ...

I would go see the doctor , not necessarily the surgeon but your normal doctor and have it looked into ..

Maybe a phone call to the surgeon to see what he thinks ..

Please let us know its a puzzling symptom...

Best of Luck..

Went to the dr. today. He thinks I have an enlarged uterus. I'll have an ultra sound next week. I had this problem about 6 years ago, and they want to do a comparison with that ultra sound to see if anything has changed. Doesn't sound like a major problem.

Formula

lbs / 2.2 = kilograms

kg x 2.2 = pounds

Examples

A man weighing 70 kilograms weighs 154 pounds

70 kg x 2.2 = 154 lbs

A woman weighing 110 pounds weighs 50 kilograms

110 lbs / 2.2 = 50 kg

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
