Is it normal not to have your cycle the month of your surgery? I was due the week I was banded and still no visitor and its been over 3 weeks. It seems like that would br normal because of the shock to my system. I know i ask alot of questions but I don't like to bother the Dr. Thanks Ginny

My period was suppose to arrive the week after my surgery and there it was a week after surgery just like clock work, the only thing I noticed different about mine was it was very light with minimal cramping which I can asssume it was like that from surgery and the fact I only had liquids in my system no junk food or chocolate like normal pre band months! My doctor did tell me my cycle "could" be irregular the first month after surgery due to the surgery and possibly months after due to the wieght loss. We wil lsee how this month goes which is suppose to arrive early next week.

I had surgery on the 5th and started on the 7th and wasn't suppose too until the 13th... Has that been a great thing or what, plus I'm sick, I always get a cold after a hospital stay, I believe it the room is well ventilated and small. I go for my 1st post- op Thurs, can't wait to see my little week loss. I've never not had food like this. liquids for 6 days now. lol

      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.
