I had my period and I shaved first....and I had on black panties firmly fitting indicating do not touch. I hope you all are sitting down! I put a sticky note that's said "do not remove!" No one mentioned it after but I'm sure they laughed.....I did so hard when I thought about it. That must of eased the OR.

Hahaha while utterly hilarious I would caution others not to do the same. If you had swelling during the surgery it could cut off the circulation in your legs. They would likely cut them off but it could cause damage before they figured it out.

Some ppl have a period after the surgery. Had mine like normal 2 weeks before surgery then started again 3 days after surgery. Be prepared ladies!

Not to worry.....I had my gallbladder out years ago....my period stopped the day before, but during surgery it had started with a vengence.......they were used to it......didn't even blink an eye......it shouldn't have any effect on your surgery.....good luck.

      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.
