Period Question



Recommended Posts

So if my period comes when I'm scheduled for surgery...and with my luck it will happen lol...can I wear a tampon during surgery? Will I be naked? Thus making a pad not an option...

I got mines as soon as I got to the hospital. It wasn't bad because it was just starting. The nurse let me leave my undies and a pad on until they were ready for me.

The surgery caused my period to start (apparently not uncommon) but I could barely go pee let alone use a pad/underwear the nurse just told me not to worry about it and focus on healing ( they changed my sheets every time I got up and cleaned the bathroom after I was done)

Mine is due the day before surgery. The first few days are usually pretty light, but I'm concerned that things will get heavier after the surgery when it's hard to get in and out of that hospital bed. Was that a problem for anyone?

      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.
