Very normal and it may last longer then normal just because the surgery whacked out our systems. I had just gotten over my period one week prior to surgery and about a 5 days after surgery got my period it last 14-15 days was light but annoying...

Oh I'm so glad you responded to my post thank you. I was wondering what was going on. This period is so abnormal that I was just wondering if I was hemmoraging (sp). Every day it seems to push out the dark blood like its about to end and then pick back up later in the day with a flow then slow down again.

Omg!! I have the same thing. I had my period two weeks before surgery and I got it again the day after surgery!! It's heavy and the cramps are killing me but the surgeon said it was normal since your system has gone through a lot! The same thing happened after I got my gallbladder out. Good luck!

Mine started the night before surgery. So glad to have had this board to use as a resource. The pain meds were great ;)

Yep, started mine the day after surgery. I have a Minerva IUD, so I had not seen it for at least 6 months before that.

      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.
