When I'm about to get my period I get really achy and all shivery... it didn't happen prior to surgery...I was wondering if anyone else has this?

I don't get shivery but my legs ache terribly now and that never happened before surgery. The first month I thought it was all in my head- but my legs don't ache at other times during the month... Have you heard of any reason it might happen? I haven't- I should think to ask my doctor...

I get real weak right before and during. They checked for anemia but my blood work is always good. I also get hungry as all get out. Then the day or night before I get flu like symptoms

That's exactly how I get!! I do know though that before I had surgery they said I was anemic and I didn't know I was. Maybe that's causing me to be extra tired.

I am actually going next week to schedule a hysterectomy. I am 43 and had tubes tied 20 years ago. I am tired of all the pain and bloating and sometimes 2 periods a month

      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.
