You've had major surgery and it's the Body it can and does whatever it wants :(

Sorry your dealing with "that" and healing..but I guess being early is better than being LATE :o ...lol

I skipped a period when I had my banding done. I think it's normal as your body is going through hormonal changes so it could come early or late.

Mine started again after only being gone a week. Wasn't a normal flow but it was annoying enough.. Think I had a full 6 days of it gone.

Doctor told me "annoying but normal and nothing to worry about your body is under stress"

I'm so glad someone brought this up! I've been having a very heavy period since banding eight days ago. Two weeks early. I have pcos so I think the band is going to really help it.

I got mine the day before my surgery and it was super early my doctor told me it was because of the change of my diet and stress.

I get bad cramps during my periods - are you allowed to take anything for it right after being banded? ? :/

I was told to take liquid Tylenol. I tried it today and it helped a lot with the cramps. Don't take any kind of aspirin or ibuprofen because of possible stomach ulcers from being banded.

      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.
