female only Unexpected Period during strict 2 week liquid diet.

[melissa0218 2]

Grr, as my luck would have it I got my period on the third day of the pre op diet. I'm on the pill and it's in the middle of my birth control pack. I have a feeling my hormones are going wacky. I hope it stops soon, I'm travling to Mexico for my surgery and the last thing I want to be doing is try to manage putting in tampons when I'm all sore. Not to mention the 5 hour plane ride.

Did anyone else have this?

Ok...,end rant

My period came 4 days early while on my 10 day liquid pre-op. The low calories, etc. Body freak out. It ended it the normal amount of days though, so it didn't matter and actually worked out better.

The two week diet actually made my body freak out too where I was just kind of bleeding but enough to require feminine products (sorry, TMI?) and subsequently made this period technically 17 days long. How miserable! So I had surgery when it was still the end of the cycle -- thankfully, and yes, dealing with tampons was a pain. Especially with having to pee so much from the IV fluids.

Just hope your body gets this period completely out of the way before surgery! (:

Just a question are you sure you can be on the pill before surgery. Check with your surgeon but I am going to Mexico also and they said no birth control pills one month before.

Varies by doctor. I was allowed to keep taking it up until surgery day. And as soon as I felt able again afterward
