I am 8 weeks from surgery... I have lost just over 30 pounds... from 217 down to 186. I am 41.

I have been spotting for four days now. But I was not supposed to start until October 16th.

would this be due to the weight loss and overall body changes?

Yes! It did not happen to me, but cutting the calories so drasticly will send our bodies into a tailspin and mess those things up- might want to make a quick call to the doc office or nuts office just to confirm but I bet they will just confrim that over the phone without an office visit. Once your calories stable and weight loss stables I would watch it and go see the gyn if it is not normal. I woun't worry.

I was supposed to start on the 30th and only usually spot for 1 day before it starts. I spotted for 4 days and finally started on the 5th extremely heavy when its usually not... Called dr and said the first couple may be messed up.

      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.
