LOL at *women only please* ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

I think it's fine for guys to learn a thing or two about periods too ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yes sure I agree, just wanted responses based on experience rather than mansplaining.

Not to mention there are people who identify as male or non-binary who menstruate

You can identify as you wish and should be respected as such, however only cis women menstruate, not all cis women do but only cis women can.

Next time someone wants a female response only without having to explain why they may want to post here https://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/432-the-gals-room/. There is an equivalent male room for male specific issuex and/or males who prefer respones from males only.

Male members can read but are not meant to reply in the 'gals room' (and the sames applies to the equivalent males room).

The 'gals' room doesn't preclude biological males who identify as female (and the sames applies to the equivalent males room) but I hope people find a safe place in either room for what they are posting about.

Thanks that's useful information.

Hey All,

I have the Mirena IUD.

(Currently intimacy inactive)

I got it after having my baby end of 2019

I went from having NO cycle 20-21

To having WEIRD cycles and unpredictable spotting AFTER sleeve 12/21.

In the past I did use the Nexplanon (arm) no issues or than (vacation coloring) would be a orange brown hue.

I had surgery Wednesday the 6th and started my period Thursday the 7th. On the 8th when I got discharged I went to go to the bathroom and Iโ€™ve never seen that much blood in my life. But Iโ€™m also on blood thinners. First thing Iโ€™ve noticed is that the bleeding is heavier and my period is lasting longer than 2 days.

Keep an eye on it and make sure you take Iron supplements.

I am cisgender and was born female, but I do know trans men (who were assigned female at birth) who still menstruate every month.

      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.
