4 months!!! Omg that had to be horrible. Did you talk to your gynecologist about it? Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App Yes! Basically I was told to hang in there. They suggested I try an IUD. but honestly I didn't want one more thing new in my body. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 6 months post op. For the first 4 months I had my period EVERY SINGLE DAY. it was a blood bath. Someone on here said a crime scene. Omg. It was ridiculous. I was buying Super Plus tampons (I didn't even know plus existed!). And I was changing them often. As a result I was absolutely exhausted. Lethargic. BUT as of last month & again this month - I am happy to tell you that my period has tapered off. I'm back to getting it once a month for about 5 days. It's still heavier than it used to be. But my point is my body is slowly crawling back to normal. GOOD LUCK !!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I guess I was just expecting (hoping?) to get really sick. I genuinely did not expect to successfully get the Cookies down. Lesson learned. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

6 months post op. I cheated badly last night by eating 8 Peanut Butter Cookies. I'm back on track today. I was just so curious if I could actually eat them. Here's my question/concern - why was I able to eat so many w/o any discomfort??? I didn't get a tummy ache, spit up or any form of 'dumping '. How is that possible after 8 cookies???

6 months out. So what happens if we drink hot chocolate? Do we crap ourselves? Seriously. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello friends. Would/could someone please explain how people regain 50+ pounds? This is a genuine question. Not a judgement at all. Does your pouch expand? Are you no longer full? Are re-gainers simply eating thru the pain?? I'm terrified of gaining the weight back! THANK YOU Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi. 5 months post op. I've been taking gummy Vitamins daily since April. They were pre approved by my medical team. However a friend who is scheduled for sleeve surgery next month was told by her team that gummy vitamins are useless. Thoughts?!?! Please. THANKS Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

HANG IN THERE! It will totally get better. I had my period for 3 months straight. No joke. I thought I was going to lose my MIND! I am nearly 5 months out & my period has stopped. It's still not normal but it's not everyday. Just hang in there. You're doing great! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

ok my friends. I have extremely curly hair. How do I know if it's falling out versus just the normal loss due to brushing?? Does your hair fall out in clumps?? Like do people have bald spots?? When should I be concerned ?? THANKS Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello my beautiful nutrition gurus! What are your thoughts/concerns of having a mouthful of ready whip when you're craving something sweet??? You know the whipped cream in the can - thoughts on squirting a mouthful or a tiny bowlful to eat with a spoon? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi all. Sleeved 2 months ago & I have had my period pretty much every day since. It's insanity! When can I expect this to regulate? Friends are suggesting I get an IUD. Who has one please & any feedback would be really appreciated. Thank you Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Are you seeking ongoing therapy? Keep that in mind when you go. I went to the referred therapist because it was required. The experience was a joke. But it got me one step closer to the surgery. Odds are you'll be approved faster if you go to who your doctor referred you to. You definitely want to go to a doc who understands bariatric surgery - so insurance approves you. Good luck!

I'm nearly 2 months post op. I haven't dined out or drank alcohol for over 2 months. Next week I have to travel for work. I'll be out of the safety of my own environment. ANY ADVISE PLEASE. What should I eat? What should I drink? I don't want going out to eat with coworkers to be an issue. I don't want them staring at me wondering how much or what I'll eat. How do I painlessly order from a restaurant with confidence? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I took the first week off. Then week 2 I would sleep in & then go into the office after noon. This was great. I needed the sleep but also got some work done. I was bored out of my mind at home. Good luck!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Most likely. I'm having a really hard time getting 60 oz down. But once I have a headache isn't it too late to hydrate? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
