tparkerc59 334 Posted November 10, 2012 I'm 4 days post-op and dealing with the gas pains and this morning I wake up with terrible cramps. I'm thinking oMG, what is happening? I go to the bathroom and discovered I'm starting my period...2 weeks early! What the hell. Has this happened to anyone else? I specifically planed so I would have a couple of weeks before I had to deal with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TakeCareGirl 161 Posted November 10, 2012 I hate those kind of surprises. It seems VSG can throw in some unexpected timing there. On the other side of it, I was never regular and now I've had two cycles with timing I can count on. Go figure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for making me feel more normal! I'm only able to get one Protein drink down (24 grams) and about 16 oz of Water thus far. I can only take the tiniest sips. But I keep trying to up the amount...hang in there...we'll make it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
