Lighter Period?



Recommended Posts

So I am almost 9 months out and my period finally seems lighter

I have ALWAYS had heavy periods. And immediately post op they seemed even heavier which my doc attributed to hormones. But this month seems i dare say "normal". lol

It's probably heavy by most people's standard but it seems normal to me. Let's see that happens next month!

So weird but I was just thinking about this today, because AF came yesterday and it's been much lighter than it used to be. Is this something that typically happens due to the weight loss? What a nice surprise if so!! :)

Oh I was so glad to see this! I swear I lose half my body's blood every time I get my period! This will be a nice "side effect" :)

I sure hope I see that soon. Mine went from super light and super short to SUPER heavy yet still really short and the cramps are worse than ever before. Enough so that my dr wants to put me on birth control but I have a risk of blood clots anyways so I refuse :/ I had hoped once I hit goal it would chill but no such luck, of course this month I lost an insane amount of weight for 10 months out due to medical problems but before that the weight loss had really slowed down once I hit my original goal.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
