Aunt Flo Question.........



Recommended Posts

I was banded on April 29th, and everything went fine. I haven't really lost a ton of weight or anything, but for about the last 3 months a friend of mine and I have been walking every day for an hour at lunch..... well, until about two months ago, I had been getting Aunt Flo around the same time every month for about a week (whereas pre-op I'd been getting it anywhere from two weeks to two months), well anyways....... So now for the last two months I haven't been getting it at all.... Is this something that I should be concerned about? is it because I've been walking? Anyone else have this happen?

Thanks!

Not a lot info -- are you peri menopausal? It sounds like pre-band you were irregular and once banded became more regular. Now you've added in some exercises so that could maybe affect it as well. Bottom line, if there is a significant change in our bodies (e.g., weight, illness, nutrition) it can affect your period. I'm very regular and always have been my entire life, but last year for no apparent reason my period became very irregular for a few months and my gyno said as long as you are having at least one period every 3 months or so and you have no other symptoms, it's not really a cause for concern.

Thanks for the info Donna :) I'd hope that I wasn't premenopausaul, I'm only 26 so I shouldn't be :unsure: But weirder things have happened.... Anyways, I was thinking that it could have been my nutrition or weight affecting it.... I guess, I'll just wait and see what happens next month, and if I still don't get it, I'll go in :tt2:

      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.
