I'm on birth control pills faithfully and its not time for my.perioid but I started spotting a bit and feel like I might start. Did this happen to anyone else?? I'm.wondering if its just the change in my body from surgery and diet or what.

YES! I can tell you from personal experience that losing weight and becoming healthy will make your hormones balance out. First of all, feminine hormones are stored in your fat cells, and as you lose weight, everything's probably going to be wonky for a little bit, and then will normalize. In my case, it made me balanced out enough to become pregnant, which is something that I never thought would happen to me, and hadn't happened for 9 years. Although I lost the baby, it was a huge sign that my body is leaning towards doing what it's supposed to be doing.

Don't worry too much! You're just getting healthier.

I have an IUD, and am 10 days post op. Since surgery I have been spotting twice; which is completely out of the norm for me with the IUD. Everything I researched said it could happen, spotting, so I wouldn't worry unless it gets worse than spotting.

Yep, it's no longer just spotting....yay :mellow:

This is completely abnormal for me because I am on seasonique where I only have 1 every 3 months....so not digging this!

      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.
