Period Question



Recommended Posts

I have a HORRIBLE period. Extremely heavy flow. Terrible cramping.

Did anyone have a lighter period after the weightloss?

Yes! My periods are much better. I was actually scheduled for endrometrial ablation (sp?). I canceled the procedure. No need. My periods are way lighter. Gone are the days of a tampon and two overnight pads!! I hope u will have the same experience. Best of luck!

I've had my period for 10 days now its crazy!! and before surgery I was totally regular by day 4 it was gone. Im only 4 weeks post-op. OMG not to be nasty or anything but the first 8 days was just brownish with no cramps by day 9 it was actual red blood and cramps. UGHHHHH I feel horrible. I hope you feel better soon girl <3 best of luck.

I havent had surgery yet....but I sure hope after losing some weight it will get better.

Seems like the more weight I have put on the heavier it has gotten :-(

Anestheia can bring on your period no matter where you are in your cycle. Give it another month.

      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.
