I got banded on the 12th of April 2012 so this is the first time in years since I have been off my cycle. So far it's been rough. Feeling sick to my stomach not being able to hold stuff down. Feeling drained or like the life has been sucked out of me. Has anyone have problems with "girl week" since they got banded? Is this going to be a constant problem or a phase? I'm just ready to crawl back in bed, but my day is just staring in the sandbox.

My first cycle after being banded was all screwed up. It was late, and when I got it I had it for almost two weeks. My GYN said it was a combination of the stress from surgery and the antibiotics I got as prophylaxis. I haven't had a problem since.

I got a hold of my doctor last night. He told me usually it happens to some females, but not all since we are different. I am feeling a lil better today. I am staying hydrated and at least drinking a Protein Drink.< /p>

I'm 8 days late. Banded 4/6/2012 no possibility of pregnancy.I was just about to post this to see if others had this issue.I assume that going from 3-4000 cal to 8-1000 cal has something to do with it.

It made two for me this month. After the first day I had no problems. My doctor told me if I had any issues or concerns to call him. I am now back on track.

      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.
