cramps during period seem worse!



Recommended Posts

Yes! Two weeks ago I was in tears they were so bad. Normally they are mild enough I can do something and forfet about them. I thought my insides were ripping apart. It sucked. I hope next time around they r less intense because the childrens tylenol (what I was told was the only pain reliever I was allowed ) isnt even worth the nasty taste

Ugh that's horrible! I'm sorry!

Par for the course for me. I had surgery to remove uterine polyps in April. Apparently polyps and fibroids (not to mention many other disorders) are more common in obese women. Yet another reason this surgery was a good thing for me!

I'm hoping that as time goes on the cramps will subside

My intestines have been more sensitive since surgery, I have frequent intestinal cramping, sometimes with diarrhea, but not always. Maybe your cramps are a combo of uterus and intestine?

I have to agree that my cramps are definitely worse. Prior to surgery I didn't have much cramping during my periods but this month I thought I was going crazy, like I ate something I shouldn't have. I thought it was just me.

Does anyone else notice a crazy heavy flow? Terrible cramps oh I can't take anything for any type of pain so for 2 weeks I suffer. Also anybody else get anemic during? I never did before but now I do everytime. I can't take oral Iron so it's IV infusion everytime :/

      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.
