Time Of The Month During Your Surgery?



Recommended Posts

Mine was six days late and started the morning of my surgery. I was pissed! I thought they were going to give me disposable panties. The nurse told me to put some gause pads in my crotch ummm no thanks. She let me wear a tampon.

I started the morning after surgery, which was a week early! I had my surgery done at Medical City Dallas which caters to WLS patients. My nurse said it is very common, though they don't know why???!!!???

OMG! So glad this question was posted because I am due for surgery on Thursday and this morning I have the familiar rumblings of an approching period. grrrrrr!! My question is will I be able to bend enough to insert a tampon or will the post op pain be too bad to allow for this? I don't want to wear the mess panties and pad and risk bleeding all over myself because I'm forced into being in a laying position....anwers please ladies?

My period came yesterday, two days after surgery. Last month it came late, so I though I was in the clear. Since the stress of surgery, it decided to come two week early.

I am going to have that issue too! Hope they allow me to have panties and a pad....I am early but I think is because I have lost 16 pounds since day one of my liquid diet.< /p>

I have been losing quick too. I am 11 lbs down from Sunday morning (Its Saturday am now). Also, I tend to put on 4-6 lbs the first day of my period and I still lost since yesterday. My husband was joking and said if I keep this up, in 2 months I'm going to be on maintenance already. Wouldn't that be nice. haha

In a week? What has your diet consist of

I am having between 70-90 grams of Protein and about 28 grams of carbs a day. I also am drinking TONS of fluids, broth, crystal lite and Jello (sugar free). My Protein drinks are EAS Carb control and GNC 100% whey Protein over the course of a day. Also, I get one sugar free popsicle a day and of course all Vitamins have at least 1g of carb so I add that to my 30 or less carb count.

I was kinda lucky. My period came early, on the Thursday before my Tuesday surgery, but since tuesday was my last day, it lingered a teeny bit.

It's actually the Lovenox that made it kinda linger. The blood thinner injections they gave me! I had one every 8 hours in the hospital.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
