Period Concern



Recommended Posts

okay so 7 months out.... experienced the same thing for 6 months. Super heavy... disgusting... last month... 1 day... Im 44 and now wondering if I am starting menopause as I havent had anything... just spotting for one day. It was actually kind of a relief to not have to go thru what I have been going thru for the last 6 months.

Im really ticked when I had my period last month around this time when it was due to end I started my liquid diet which was Opti Fast. Well I was on for for an additional two weeks because of the fast (says the surgeon's office) so I've only been off for about two weeks and here it comes again, and im having surgery on Monday this is the last thing I wanted to be dealing with while in the hospital. I guess it wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt so heavy but lately it's been ridiculous. Mother Nature sure knows how to show up at the most inconvenient time.

Yup the hormone levels are all wacked when you lose weight especially as fast as we do with RNy. My period was good for years...then the last year it's been hit or miss.....every 4-8 weeks. I was due for mine the day after my surgery and didn't get it so there went the 4 week mark...I didn't get again until 1 month post op...8 weeks. The next one came right at 4 weeks...looks like I'm back to normal. I was even tested last year for menopause just because it was so nuts but, they said I had no signs of it. 48 years old so I'm thinking it's starting. Anywho.......the hormones we are releasing with the stored fat will do some funny things to us.

My periods have not been normal since the 1st day or surgery. I'm having them at least every 2 to 3 weeks - not set plan or cycle. Just random. It is awful.

      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.
