I have been on the depo-shot for about 3 years now and havent had my period in about 2. Yesterday there was a bit of spotting and the only thing I can crack it up to be is because of the pre-op diet.

YES !! :scared2: I have an iud and haven't had a period in 3 years. I started the liquid diet and suddenly started a full fledged weeklong heavy flow period. I am NOT happy about this. I'm hoping its a one time thing

I had my period during my pre-op diet, but that was when it was supposed to happen. HOWEVER, it restarted a couple of days after surgery! It lasted 18 days with some very heavy days. UGH.

I have the Nuvaring and that makes me pretty regular. However, throughout this whole weight loss thing, I'll hope for the best because I heard that losing weight can effect your period.

Oooooooh crap :drool:

i was really hoping not to have to deal with this because I have extremely painful cramps. I have a Rx for naproxen from my doc for them and still have to double the dosage for some semblance of relief. But naproxen's an NSAID, right? And I know they don't want us taking those--pre- or post-op--because of the risk of ulcers (and thus erosion) :crying:

I really hope I'm not going to be unintentionally laid up before surgery even gets here. I think I'm just gonna put in my next Nuvaring after I take this one out and hope I can get 3 more weeks w/o TOM (or Aunt Rose, if you prefer) visiting :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
