That time of the month....

[Candace2314 117]

Ok, this is a weird question but has anyone else experienced this issue: since surgery, every month when I get my period I throw up and Im nauseous and I can't keep any food down... It just hits me out of no where. This is my second period since surgery and I was sitting in Barnes and Nobles reading and I instantly had to puke (sorry I know it gross), I told my boyfriend I needed to go home like immediately and I didn't even make it to the car. Once in the car I was ok until I got out of the car and I didn't make it to the door before another episode of "grossness". Then I had realized I was cramping and discovered I was on my "ladytime" lol. SO WEIRD, not cool. I just had to ask cause this sucks and I cant keep anything down.

I have not had nausea with my TOM but it has changed a lot since surgery. Pimples, worse, cramps etc.

When we loose weight the fat that is burned releases lots of stored estrogen. I hear that it balances back out as the weight loss slows down.

I'm so glad you posted this question. I have been wondering the same thing. i just had my surgery on Monday and I am due for my period in about a week. This time of the month is already horrible for me so I wanted to know if other women have experienced it worse after surgery. I am not looking forward to it.

I didn't have nausea either but I did notice that pre-sleeve I would have a couple of days of spotting before I'd get a full blown period with cramping and everything. This month it came on fast and furious, no days of spotting before like I'm used to.

I wonder if that is what my problem is today??

I am due to start in a day or two. I have not had any issues with nausea or vomiting since surgery (5 weeks ago) and today I just feel awful anytime I eat.

I ate Breakfast and instantly felt ill!! It lasted about 20 minutes. I just had a snack and the same thing happened.

I did not thow up, but it was so sudden and strong, I could have! YUCK!

candace, aha!! Sorry to hear that but... you're not alone. And I bet it really is the TOM at work.

I'm 2.5 wks out and last Friday, I actually went to see my surgeon because suddenly I felt so much worse. The pain around my incisions got worse -- inside, not just on the skin -- AND I was suddenly unable to eat the food I normally ate w/o upchucking. Normally I eat about 2oz of tuna for breakfast; the day I felt so bad, I ate 1.3 oz and couldn't keep more than half down. I ate two tiny tiny coffee spoons of yogurt and BLARP, up it came. With the bitter after taste of my medicine, too. So, I figured that it was doctor time before it got worse.

Dr. prescribed cold Water and cold liquid food for probable swelling... and if I didn't feel any better the next day, an x-ray... and probably days in the hospital, urgh, cuz that's what they do here.

Then of course I realized Aunt Flo was paying me a visit. The timing was too perfect to be coincidental... I really believe that's what caused it. I get bad cramps and, shall we say, "digestion effects" from the cramping so I guess it's not farfetched to imagine the cramping and pain affecting things higher up on the "food chain," like my new baby sleeve.

The cold Water & cold liquid food for 2 days really helped me. So did ibuprofen. While my "ladytime" (hee) is not over, I can eat normally again and no barfing. So I didn't have to go get the x-ray or go to the hospital (yes!).

Maybe you could try the cold water and cold liquid foods (like cold potato Soup, or gazpacho, or sf pudding). I hope you feel better!
