I know TMI ..but I wanted to know how the sleeve has effected your monthly visiter? At my heaviest 309 my period just started regulating. Before have my daughter I didn't have a period for a 1yr . Then after I was irregular again then I had birth control paced in it regulated me.. But doctor told me to stop birth control a month before surgery cause the hormones can cause blood clots.

I'm only 17 days post-op but I've already noticed a difference. My cycle has gone from being 40+ days (sometimes over 120 days in length) to being 28 days long as of yesterday! I don't want to get too far ahead of myself and count it as a victory since I'm not even a month out yet, but I'm so, so excited to see that my body is doing something normal for a change.

How far out are you?

Before surgery at 322 I was normal and my visitor was tolerable now The cramping is horendous I never used to bloat now I do and I am very sickly and fatigued the first 4 days. Its pretty annoying bc I am essentially curled in a ball with a heating pad and tylenol that week. Still I regret nothing, best choice ever.

      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.
