stinkin' period...



Recommended Posts

I started two days after, thankfully it was after my catheter was removed. Semi on time so I am glad I brought my supplies. Overall it didnt seem to make things any worse. Just a little longer in the bathroom.

mine started when i got home from the hospital and I seriously had a hard time maneuvering down there with my pain etc, so I had to use pads for a couple of days of it.. (not to mention I was staying with my parents and had to ask my poor dad to go by my house and get them.. I got home later and realized there were extra pregnancy tests in that cabinet.. *eyeroll* maybe he didn't notice. lol)

Yeah. And I'm on the depo shot so it shouldn't even be an issue!! Though my periods have never been normal. Grrrrrrr, the annoyance of a uterus sometimes.

How long have you been taking the depo? I used to work at a family planning clinic (not planned parenthood), and the depo would often cause some women to have very heavy periods for a few months before it would regulate. I would still get your depo every 90 days, but use an alternate means of protection. The surgery is a shock to the system and sometimes depoprovera is moody!

I've been on it for years. I'm hoping once I lose a bunch of weight that my periods will finally become somewhat predictable :/

I was sleeved on 2/21, I have very minimal pain even to stop my pain killer. TODAY I STARTED MY PERIOD!!! I have very painful periods. At first i thought something was wrong with stomach and started to panic. Then i went to the bathroom and realized what was happening. Must be karma, who can have 80% of their stomach removed and not have pain??? Damn mother nature!!!!grrrr

My sister rolled her car and broke her neck. When she woke up 2 days later She informed me she was on her period and had a tampon in when she wrecked. She couldn't raise up more than 15 degree angle. So guess who that left to remove the tampon. Yep! Sister of the year right here.

Wow! You are one good sis!

      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.
