Hey Gilliebean, that does not sound like fun at all! I have not had that issue but I also take birth control so that keeps my periods pretty regulated. I was just wondering though - were your periods pretty regular before? I know that for some bigger ladies (couple of my friends had this problem) their periods would be on a strange cycle and come farther between than say your average 28 days (or whatever it is). If not, could it be with your weight loss (fantastic by the way, just awesome!) perhaps your body is trying to "re-regulate"?

When you say "they" say it's normal - are you refering to your Lapband surgeons office? Is it worth maybe getting the opinion of your primary care physician?

Hope things normalize for you! I hate once a month let alone way more than that, omgosh I couldnt even imagine!! *HUG*

no they were not regular before but never more than once a month. I do think i need to go see my gyno and get back on the shot since my surgeon says its safe to do now i hope that helps cause i would love to be regulated.

Aside from getting mine on the day of surgery 3 days too soon, it was back on the normal track since then. But then again, I was always regular.

I would definately talk to the doctor about it. Getting it so frequently can reek havoc on your daily life.

      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.
