Sensitive question about ladies time of the month



Recommended Posts

Just a quick question, I'm 4 weeks post op and should have had my time of the month but it hasn't come. Just wondering has any one else had similar experiences.

I would have been "regular" enough before surgery.

Sorry for raising an awkward topic!

Regards to all

Aunt Flo's visitation schedule gets messed up for pretty much everyone postop. She can come early, late, heavy, light, and sometimes non-existent. No worries! She'll get back on schedule by 6 months or a year postop when the weight loss slows.

I haven't had a period in years due to my IUD. I have been spotting for the past three weeks since surgery. My surgeon says it's normal with rapid weight loss and can go either way for people!

My surgeon told me it can be irregular for at least 3 months post op. If you're really worried, it's always a good idea to call your surgeon's office or your obgyn's office. Even if someone tells me everything is fine, I'd rather have an answer than be worried. :)

Thanks for the advice. I suppose I was regular ish up to now so it's thrown me off but I'll just add it to the list unexpected side effects from surgery.

I'll sit tight and enjoy the time I'm free of aunty flo!!

Mine have been irregular since surgery. First one was light. Second one was heavy and lasted for 9 days! Third one is so far very light.
I am not concerned as I know my body is dealing with a lot of changes.

I never ever have mine because I take my BC back to back with no gaps. Was sleeved on the 23rd and it sort of started on the 22nd and definitely did the night after surgery. I still have it and I'm taking my pills. I also have tons of mouth ulcers related to my autoimmune disease. I think my body is just totally thrown off and pissed at me.

      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.
