Hey, all! I had my sleeve done July 11 and had to come off my birth control pills because of the risk of blood clots. So, usually when i come off my pills, i would have my TOM a couple of days after. This time, a couple of days after surgery I stained a tiny bit and that was it! Does this surgery mess with our cycles?? I apologize for the TMI...

Yes but it's important to make sure that's all this is - if there's a possibility of pregnancy - get tested asap. Otherwise - hormones are all messed up post-op and so are TOMs.

I had surgery on July 5 and Auntie Flo came to visit on July 7 the day I was to be discharged. She just dropped by for the festivities, I guess. She wasn't supposed to arrive for a week! Sooo...that was fun...

I definitely would use a second form of Bc because your hormones will fluctuate and could be completely out of whack for a while.

If there is a chance you could be pregnant by all means make sure that isn't it. :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
