I don't know if it's normal or not, but mine was supposed to start on the day of surgery (4/4) and here I am, still waiting.

I had finished mine about a week prior to surgery, but when I woke up from surgery I had it again. The following month I was 4 days late and a week after that one was done, I spotted for over a week. The next month was a normal 28 day but this month I am 2 days early. I think it affects our periods one way or another and eventually it should level itself out. But if you are concerned you can always call your dr for peace of mind.

I was post-menopausal when I had my surgery, so no direct experience here, but that's pretty common. The way I've heard it explained is that fat cells carry estrogen, so once you start losing a bunch of weight, you get hormone floods, which messes with your system. It should straighten itself out within a few months (I'm guessing due to the weight loss eventually slowing down).

Mine came the day after surgery, a week early. I was less than thrilled.

I started spotting a week after surgery then it stopped. Now I’m spotting again. I don’t usually have periods without medication so I’m hoping this is the start of something good.

Oh man. I'm on the pill and my period usually comes like clockwork and lasts 3-4 days. I finished my last period the day before surgery, but by the time I woke up on the day after surgery, I'd started spotting. It's been 7 days and I'm still spotting. Hoping it'll stop here soon.

      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.
