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, and I may have it on day of surgery. Will that keep me from being able to have the surgery on time?

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.

      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.
