I am 8 days post op and have started a very heavy menstral cycle. This is my 5th day and its not easing up whatsoever. I have no energy at all and dizziness. I was anemic post up and was warned that i would need blood following surgery. They tested me before discharge and my levels were fine @ 10. I am wondering if i am low because of my heavy cycle? I feel like i just cant get myself together.. Could barely type this post.

Are you on Iron? I'm also haveing a very heavy cycle this month, I was even in the ER last week. They gave me an IV and sent me on my way with birth control pills to stop the bleeding. I didn't take them because my sergery is on the 15th of Oct. and birthcontrol pills can cause blood clotting, I don't want to take the risk. I've been on this cycle for three weeks now, but it seams as if it's slowing down now. You may want to take your supliments and get to some IV liquds in. I was taking fish oils and was told to stop because they can cause bleeding as well.

I had surgery on 8/10 and my first cycle after surgery was excruciating, I've never had cramps so bad. I hope this is not what I will have to look foward to each month.

Yes, I was already anemic before surgery. They had even planned to give me blood during surgery if I didn't get my Iron up over the weekend. I did. This is the heaviest bleeding I've done in my life! I don't have any post surgery pain. Just period pain and weakness. I'm going to get my levels checked in the morning.

My surgery was on Monday and my cycle started yesterday as scheduled (I keep track with an app). So far mine has been pretty normal to possibly a little lighter then normal. Normally my first 2-3 days are really heavy.

Check with your doctor!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
