Cycles changes



Recommended Posts

Hello all,
I’m knew to the group( hey y’all)!

I have a surgery date of August 6. I’m excited but now I’m really nervous being that I’m less than two weeks out. So many things are in my head but tonight I got to thinking about how different my cycle maybe, currently have a cycle every 21 days and over the course of 13 years after many children (4), my cycle have went from three days minimal bleeding no cramping too many days sometimes more than seven. lots of cramps. lots of side effects. So now I’m really concerned that having gastric sleeve is going to change my cycle for the worse. Any of you ladies have complications with your cycle after surgery?

Thanks in advance,
An excited, impatient, nervous soon to be sleever!

The lighter I have gotten, the lighter my cycle has gotten. I don't know for sure if there is a direct connection but I believe so.

My cycle had changed. I’m 34, no kids. I’ve gone from a 28 day cycle to a 24 day cycle. I also used to start quite light, now it’s heavier and shorter I think. I’m a year out and this 24 day thing is pretty weird.

Can you explain how you count your cycle?

First day of your period is “day one”. So you might count 28 days and then you get your period again and you start a new cycle. A typical cycle is usually 28 days, but it can vary from 21 to 35 days.

I track my cycle using an app, but you can just circle the first day of your period in your paper diary and count back to your last circle. This helps you know when your period is due and what your cycle is.

There is a lot of info online and apps that help you know when in your cycle you are most likely to conceive too and how to track it.

      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.
