Since my surgery I have had a shorter cycle. I get my period every 17 days now.
Did you feel queasy during menstruation before surgery? I think for the first couple of months almost anything can be "normal" considering what our bodies are going through. Trust your intuition. If something is really wrong, you'll know.

I had really bad acid reflux/heart burn when I woke up (this by far was the worst part of my experience and lasted the whole time I was in the hospital) and some tenderness in my abdomen. Not painful but sore. Also, just like everyone else, I was bloated with fluids. I went in on surgery day at 258 and came out at 263 lol But it went away. Oh and something I don't hear a lot of people talk about but was miserable for me was the dry mouth! I had ice chips in my mouth constantly otherwise I couldn't even talk lol.

Also! The Premiere Protein Shakes are the best! ???? I drink those too! By far my favorite out if all the ones I've tried!

I am 15 days post op and had no issues at all with liquids or Protein. I got 64 ounces of liquids a day and 60 grams of protein. No pain or nausea. I thought something was wrong with me too because my dad had the sleeve 3 years ago and what he explained post op to be like was nothing like what I have experienced. I understand your concern because I have been reading everyone's experience on here and thinking, mine is nothing like there's but I've come to realize after talking to my doctor that everyone's process is different. Many factors come into play, your age, health before surgery, weight, etc. And for the future, in case your similar to me, my doctor just switched me over to soft/solid foods (which I also read and have been told is a hard transition) and I have not been nauseous or thrown up once. When I'm full I get this kinda "punch" is the only way I can describe it to my sternum and I don't eat anymore. I am able to eat about 4 ounces a sitting, depending on what I'm eating. Because I am taking food down so well though, I have been very careful to keep track of nutrition and calories on my fitness pal. Hope this helps ???? You are doing just fine.

I had issues with my insurance company too. It took over a month to get approved and I was approved literally a week and a half before my surgery was scheduled to happen. They cut it really close. I had all requirements that my insurance company required completed but they kept coming back with little things that they said I needed to do. It was beyond frustrating and annoying but I didn't give up and finally for it approved. Unfortunately for many insurance companies, they make you jump through a billion hoops but stick with it. Just keep coming back with the stupid stuff they ask for and they will eventually approve it. I feel for you though, hang in there!
