My period has gone crazy!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 5/13/15 and my period was the week before which was normal. My surgery weight was 205. I lost 15 pounds in the 1st 2 weeks and only about a pound or so this 3rd week. But i have been bleeding off and on since surgery and now im at a full fledged bleed like a normal period only it's a week early. Has anyone else had this issue after being sleeved?

YES! If I've had 2 weeks since surgery that I haven't been bleeding or spotting, it's a lot. I've heard it's from the estrogen releasing from fat, but need to get back to the doc about it. Had to go on Iron, and resisting a D&C.

I hope yours straightens itself out ASAP!

Mine started early...I had surgery Monday morning, my period started that Thursday. Much lighter than normal. Lasted three days, which is a little less than normal. Haven't had one since (im three weeks post op now). I'm wondering if the lack of nutrition will effect it now? Usually fertility is first to go when your body is going through trauma.

Make sure you all don't become anemic! Have your levels checked by a doctor!

Mine is crazy. I work in GYN and it's normal because of the rapid weight loss. I was sleeved 4/8

      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.
