I wonder if I can get some advice. I'm 4 and a half months out of surgery and this month I am 17 days late getting my period. I have done pregnancy tests all negative and wonder if anyone else has experienced this? Is it normal? Any advice would be great?

Yes youre period can get wake because you are on such restricted calories. I am six weeks out and i haven't had a period yet... I know it s because my body is in shock and on extremely low calories and having Endometriosis doesnt help. but it IS normal. Think about how anorexics lose their periods. its because they calories are so low. Same thing here.

Thank you so much for your reply. Will have to wait a bit longer. Am guessing it will return to normal at some point. Wish you lots of luck with your journey.

Lucky you. Im 13 days post op and I got my period the night before surgery (boy was that horrific the day of) and it hasn’t let up yet. I have an iud and my period NEVER lasts longer than two days. I’m nearing the end of the 5 year limit for my iud (December) so that could be playing a role in this as well, beside the fact that my body went through a trauma.

      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.
