3 weeks out and long lost period suddenly makes a comback1 Ugg



Recommended Posts

I'm 51 years old and 3 weeks out from surgery. I hadn't had a period in almost a year and suddenly it reared its ugly head 3 days ago. Has anyone else experienced this? How many months did this continue?

I would call your Dr. both your surgeon and GYN. Menopause can be funny like that though but get medical attention just to be safe. Don't miss my period at all!

The exact same thing happened to me. My surgery was Oct. 2012, then had another 3 months later. No more since then. I just attributed it to hormones. Did you check in with your GYN? I haven't, just wondering.

I'm 50 and April 16 was going to be my official "im menopausal" day. (A year without periods). And damn, if I didn't get it a week before my surgery March 20. Thus the countdown begins again. Sigh. Dropping excess weight can mess with your cycles. It's not anything to worry about unless you've been a year without a cycle and then have bleeding.

I have a IUD Mirena and PCOS and was not getting a period at all. I am a year out of surgery and had my first one right after surgery and then two more in the past year so a total of 3 periods since surgery.

      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.
