Menstraul Cycle?!?!



Recommended Posts

I am 2 days out (I have surgery scheduled for Wednesday 7/31/13).

Let me give you a little background. I have had my tubes tied in 2010 and a Uterine Ablation in 2012 so I haven't had a period in over a year. Now I am assuming becuase of my diet it has my body in a state of chaos and I have started spoting.

I have emailed my doctor, but now I am stressing that they won't be able to do the surgery if I am on my period? Any advice??

They will do it, I was on mine as well.. it was super embarrassing for me because of the catheter, but that was the least of my worries once I was on the feel good meds :) You will be fine!

Do they do the catheter when you are awake? Does it hurt when they put it in?

I also had tubes tied, ablation, and last year was put on a medicine whose side effect is no periods...and I started spotting today......hopefully that's all.....I wonder if it's anxiety about surgery or if it's the small weight loss.

Good news is this won't stop the surgery. Good luck on Wed.!

They put mine in once I was out, i don't remember it being put in. When they took it out it didn't hurt, it just felt weird.

I am sure it's anxiety... I can stop thinking about this.

Thanks

I had my surgery last Thursday and today I started spotting. I figure it's just the stress my body is going under after the procedure.

Not everyone has a catheter, either. I didn't, nor did I have a drain.

      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.
