Anyone experience Post-op cycle changes



Recommended Posts

So my cycles are pretty heavy which causes an Iron-deficiency for me. So I’m already going to be on my cycle when I go in for surgery. “SUCKS *SS” I was told by my surgeon that I may get my cycle again. Which means twice in one month. Oh HELL NO! Was anyone else told this?? Or if you had surgery did this happen to you. I would like to know how common it is. 😭☹️😤

This happened to me, sort of. Because of my birth control, I normally skip/don’t have a period. After surgery I got an untimely period.

And I'm sure out you're on blood-thinning,shots it has to be much worse. Eventually everything should smooth out.

Thank you @greensmoothie. I’m just hoping if it comes twice they aren’t both heavy. It makes me so weak

I was also on my period during surgery. Wasn’t bad because the pain meds help lol.

My periods have gotten worse in terms of heavier flow and more weird pain. My pain now is more back pain versus low abdomen pain. I hope it adjusts and gets back to the old routine but I am seeing my gyno next week to switch birth control because the pill may not be fully absorbed. I want to stay on it but I will see what the doc says.

      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.
