Hi, for all you ladies out there who are still visited by aunt flow every month, how was it affected after surgery? I feel like a mess in that department and am not sure what is going on. My mood is sour and I want to bite everyone's head off so that seems like PMS but could just be that I'm a !@#$

If you don't mind sharing something so personal than I would appreciate the advice.

My period started in the hospital a couple of hours after my surgery. Let's just say it didn't make any of the surgery pains any easier. It seemed heavier than normal and lasted a full day longer. 😒

I'm 3.5 months out. My cycle is all over the place. First cycle was 5 weeks apart, then 3 weeks, then 6 weeks, then 2 weeks. And they are heavy - much heavier than before. And worse cramps. Maybe it'll even out?

My first period after surgery was a few days post-op, which was a few days early. I started birth control shortly after surgery and my last period was super light as a side effect.

That sounds awesome. =( My cycle is already not normal. I hope it evens out.

      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.
