TMI ? REGARDING GIRL TALK



Recommended Posts

Menstrual Cycle. I'm aware things are thing to be way messed up and getting back together due to my weight loss but I'm starting to think I've got a problem. I was on my period going into surgery...no big deal they got me through it but I've been on my period SINCE my surgery December 6th. Ive got light days and ive got heavy days. I don't have insurance so I'm going to get some insight here first. I will call my sleeve doctor but I know they will refer me to a obgyn. Yuck idk but I gotta figure this out and fast!!

It didn't happen to me- but I have heard its common. All the excess fat we are losing contains a bunch of estrogen. That influx of estrogen can really mess with the cycle. I will say since surgery I have had a period like clockwork- after almost 3 years of not having one it's rather sad (I had an IUD put in after my son was born).

I had mine 3 days after surgery and now I'm 10 days late. Never been late before. I'm not prego and I know losing weight effects hormones but I don't like this waiting and wondering when ?

      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.
