Recommended Posts

Ok! I need help. I am 18 days out. real close to losing 40 lbs.....so I start my period yesterday and my emotions are all over the place! I want to cry one minute and the next I'm all smiles. What the heck is going on? I have never had this issue before! EVER! Cramps, bloating, back and neck pain sure but this is all new. :mellow:

Well, TOM just came for another visit today - a week later than I thought it would. I hope this is not the new norm - I was a clockwork 28 day cycle before which I liked because well - it was clockwork. This is a 35 day cycle this time.

Just a note for those who are curious:

July 12 - surgery (I was supposed to start period then, but did not - probably because of the surgery).

July 18 - TOM came for his normal visit of 6 days.

August 4 - a 4 pound weight gain that stays for 1 week. August 11 saw a 4 pound drop and then an additional 3 pounds in the next week came off.

August 18 - a 1.5 pound weight gain and a Migraine (normal timing before start of period).

August 22 - TOM returned.

I had cramps and Migraines before the surgery that always came with TOM. Unfortunately, he has brought them back this month. :( That was something that I was hoping would change. Oh well...

      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.
