Nope -- got mine the day before my surgery (liquid fast day) and I was fine for most part on surg date --- I was miserable without Advil that day but I figured anesthesia and pain meds would take care of the cramping in a flash

I'm 1 month out today and obviously on my period again now lol

Will talk to my surgeon and most likely obgyn about this in the morning but I'm having an unusually extra extra heavy period. Im 1 month post op. Day 1 was normal with mild cramping but last night and this morning (day 2-3 of period) I've been leaking through 2 & 3& FOUR layers of the extra heavy extra protection purple wrapped always maxi pads!!! I've woken up 2x last night to wash up and change my bed sheets. I've never had to do this before surgery. Anyone had this experience post op? Large clumps of blood each time I use the bathroom. Pre op I only needed 2 large pads at night the first few days of my flow and would wear an ultra tampon while at work or working out with no leak outs. Now I doubt an ultra tampon would last more than 30 minutes without getting soaked and then leak through my undergarments. This can potentially be very embarrassing.

I did. Was in the ER all day -- hemoglobin low at 10 -- blood pressure was a little low too which is unusual cause I'm always normal but no transfusion needed thank God, they gave me fluids and an rx to slow down the vaginal bleeding (post vsg safe) if i need it - the phys asst also gave me a pelvic exam

The bleeding has managed to slow down On its own, thank God

Will follow up with my regular Gyno tomorrow morning

I'm still a little dizzy and lightheaded so I am resting up -- such a scary experience way worse than the dehydration 3 weeks ago

      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.
