Menopause, hot flashes, aches and pains.



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if those who have already had the surgery and lost some weight notice any difference in flashes or general aches and pains? I have hot flashes that feel like a volcano is living inside of me. Sweat beads up at my hairline and face - even under my eyes! Horrible visual, I know...sorry. I am hoping the weight loss will alleviate some of the back, hip and shoulder pain I have and maybe even some of the heat I generate in this big 'ol body of mine.

Aww I'm sorry you are going thru this. Most people vent about the opposite. They are always so cold. Hope things improve

Thank you! I have not had surgery yet. I was wondering if the surgery helps to get rid of some of the above symptoms. I am hoping that I will be one of the ones that feels cold! :)

Hi, try Estroven. It's natural, over the counter and you can buy it at walgreens or any Walmart ir GNC. It helps with all your hot, heat flashes and everything else for menopause, peri or post. They even have a weight loss version. Will try to insert a pic. 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.
