Okay, so I'm 7 weeks out, and this is super TMI.

About three weeks ago, I started my period; it lasted about three days, which was normal for me.

About two days after it was over, it started again, heavier. It lasted about three days, again.

Two days after that, it started again, and I'm shocked that I have this much blood in my body.

Anyone else going through this?

Not after this surgery( had a hysterectomy in 08), but my period was screwed up for about four months after my heart surgery in 2000... my obgyn said it was because I had stressed my body or rather that it had been " insulted" by being operated on. Mine evened out but it was a pain in the butt.

I got my period the day I was discharged. It was really heavy and for 2-3 days. It only comes once ever month but like you said... Dang, where is all this blood coming from?

It will be crazy for a few months and then it will straighten itself out. If it doesn't after a few months, contact your OBGYN.

Its the hormones being released from the fat. I went thru it for about 8 months. I did see my ob gyn because your Iron levels do get low. I had an ablation done. It didn't stop the periods but they are however lighter and more manageable. Hang in there

Hey Spark !!! You are lookin' great :) Surgery can surely mess up your cycle !!! If it continues I would contact your OB/GYN ... better to be safe than sorry. Keep up the good work sweetie :)

Thanks ladies! It just a little crazy. Each time I think it is done my uterus is like "here have some more!" And I am like "uterus! Stop!"

Yes! I had mine the week before surgery then 3 days after surgery it came back! I was like no its not time. Surgery was on 5/30 and I'm still bleeding- it's not heavy and hasn't been but its annoying. Needs to stop already.

My surgery is June 17. I am having RNY. My period is due any day now' date=' and I may have it on day of surgery. Will that keep me from being able to have the surgery on time?[/quote']

It won't stop you from having surgery. They'll just make you wear a pad during surgery. Im praying mine stays stopped thru tomorrow at least.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
