Hit flashes post op? NOT old enough for menopause....



Recommended Posts

I was going to say the same after thyroid. I did have hot flashes and I actually had a hysterectomy a few years ago and am on replacement hormone so it wasn't that! It could be your thyroid but likely not this quickly (unless you had thyroid issues before surgery). The most likely culprit is the pain med (if you are still taking it). I find that it can cause that for me.

How old are you? I started menopause at 36, and was done by 48-ish. No other symptoms besides a handful of hot flashes at 36, then no symptoms & periods stopped by 48. Doc thought I was too young, so poked, prodded and tested. Made me bleed 2 more times, then labs came back and VOILA post-menopause!! Which is what I told her to begin with, lol!!

Thanks for the input ladies! I actually think it might be the pain meds judging from timing of their occurrence. Thyroid was fine a week ago per pre op blood panel and i still get periods like clockwork.

I'm still in quite a bit of pain on day 4 so I'll just have to suck up the flashes i think.

      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.
